Rainbow Cake

Eating the rainbow is a ton of FUN!

Here's how you can do it...

RAINBOW CAKE

2 white cake mixes

Wilton Icing Colors in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple (the drop food coloring WILL NOT work - it won't make your cakes bright enough)

FROSTING:

2 sticks butter, softened

powdered sugar

vanilla extract

milk

whipped topping

Make the cake mixes as directed on box. Divide cake mix into 6 seperate bowls and put a tsp of color into each bowl making up your six primary colors of the rainbow. Bake each cake seperately in 9 in round cake pans that are heavily greased with cooking spray. Let each cake cool completely before beginning to stack your cakes.

Meanwhile, cream two sticks of butter. Add a tsp of vanilla and about 1/2 - 3/4 of the bag of powdered sugar. Mix together until it's thick. Add about 1-2 Tbsp of milk to get frosting to the right consistency. (start with 1 Tbsp at a time - you don't want your frosting too thin). Then add 1/2 of a container of whipped topping to the frosting. This was AWESOME! It had the perfect amount of sweetness, but was light and fluffly like whipped topping is. GREAT IDEA!

When your cakes are completely cooled, stack them starting with purple (on the bottom) and frost a thin layer of frosting between each layer of cake. Once all layers are on, frost entire cake - top and sides (which by the way is NOT easy - you have to be patient)!

WALLA! You're done to enjoy your beautiful cake!

PS. This cake was SOOOOO moist! We loved it! It honestly tasted as good as it looked! And the frosting was perfect too! DELICIOUS!
