Rainbow cake!

Last weekend was my girlfriends 25th birthday, so of course, she wanted a rainbow cake. I'm certainly not a baker - I tend to make cakes that are heavy enough to do serious damage if dropped on your foot - so that idea was forgotten about. Then she decided she wanted a cake wreck. We were having people over for dinner, and I didn't want to kill them with my own baking so I bought a packet mix and attempted the rainbow cake.



It's a long process, but it was a lot of fun to make :)

Not quite sure what happened when it was baking, but it helped make it a cake wreck :)

The cake in all it's cakewreck glory, misspelled and all.

I put a bit of orange essence in the orange coloured cake mix, which worked really well. The finished product...

I like the tiltiness of the colors that came about when it baked -- I think it makes it look cool when it's cut.

That's a really neat marbled effect, it's so fun and great!
