Rainbows + Cake = The best cake

What's not to love about rainbows, just seeing an arc of colour in the sky is a magical experience that I will never get bored of. Add rainbows to cake and you get the perfect combination of yummy cake and colour. But what I love to do, is make the rainbow a secret suprise in the cake so when the recipient cuts it they are like 'Wow, I did not expect that!'

So for my sister's 21st Birthday that is exactly what I did, pale pastel colours and butterflies on the outside, crazy rainbow cake on the inside!

I need a better camera but you can still see I decided to do pale blue fondant icing and a cluster of butterflies on the top, as butterflies are her all time favourite thing. You can't see on the picture but the butterflies had a lace pattern embossed into them to make them a little more interesting and I sprinkled the whole cake with edible glitter,

I am terrible at keeping suprises but on this occasion I managed to wait until she cut the cake and found for herself the crazy rainbow middle. Needless to say she was very happy with her cake and I now have many requests for rainbow cake from my family!

Even before icing the layers look great.

 It is suprisingly easy to do, the only downside is that with only 2 cake tins, 6 layers takes quite a while to cook, but the end result is more than worth it. Have you ever received or made a rainbow cake?
