Joe's Birthday Cake

Hana and I made Joe's birthday cake last weekend and something came over me. It had been a while since I baked anything and I started feeling creative. Here's my invention. Well, it's certainly not my very own invention. Surely someone else has done this or something similar before. I've actually seen a picture of a rainbow cake, but it was in perfect layers. I think it was made with individual colored cakes layered on top of one another. But this is my take on a rainbow cake:

Take 1 box of yellow cake mix (white would probably work best, but I had a yellow) and prepare as usual. Separate into bowls and add food coloring, the gel kind, to make whatever colors you like.

Pour into pan one at a time, careful to layer it rather than mix it. 

Bake as usual.

Get one beautiful girl to decorate it with icing

and sprinkles, of course!

Add candles.

Sing "Happy Birthday" (of course I couldn't get that video to load) and cut into it to see your beautiful creation.

Serve with ice cream and enjoy.

We certainly did!
