![]() Bake each later for 10-12 minutes, until the center is set.Cut out parchment rounds to fit the pan, and then spray with cooking spray. I only have two 8-inch round pans, which works out ok, as all the layers cook quickly.Gel color works much better than color drops, which don’t have nearly the color options or vibrancy. Then divide the total batter weight by 6, and measure out 6 portions in 6 different bowls to color. I did this by zeroing out a big empty bowl, add the batter to determine total batter weight. Using a scale, divide the batter into 6 equal portions.If for some reason, you have some stubborn lumps…just put the batter through a mesh sieve and get the lumps out.Add the second 1/2 of the liquid and gently fold it in.If you don’t, you’ll have white flour clumps in your final cake.

They saw the plain white cake and kept asking me “are you SURE you’re done decorating?” Katie was concerned enough that she went into the garden and picked raspberries to put on top. My girls were VERY concerned about the cake. The important thing about making this cake, is making it after hours or when the kids are out of the house so they can’t see the process. Scaffolding worked well for the concession stand, construction debris made adventure golf more fun, gravel piles and lumber came in handy as well. We’re under construction with a dumpster in the front yard and a front-end loader in the back…so I just decided to work with it. The party theme this year was a Construction Site Carnival. This cake is so much fun! I was in a serious time crunch this year for the girls’ 7 & 9 year birthday party, so I needed something using basic ingredients with minimal decoration and no fondant! Thankfully I stumbled across this Rainbow Cake from fellow Michigan blogger, Whisk Kid, at the Nth hour.
