Looks delicious, right? Here is what you need in order to make this gorgeous cake:

• 2 boxes of White Cake Mix
• 4 drops of food colouring
• 4 packages of cream cheese
• 1 cup of butter
• 5 cups of powdered sugar
• 1 table spoon of vanilla

Instructions

1. According to the directions on the white cake mix, make a cake mix. Separate the batter into three separate bowls with roughly one cup of cake mix per bowl. In these bowl, add the desired food colouring to each bowl.
2. Bake the cakes in round pans according to the instructions. Just make sure you check the cake approximately 10 minutes before it is supposed to be done. If there is less mix in each pan, they can cook faster and you can proceed to the next step.
3. Repeat the process for the remaining colours.
4. For the frosting, mix together the softened butter and cream cheese until they are well combined. Add vanilla. Combine. Finally, slowly add in powder sugar.
5. After the 5th cup of powdered sugar, taste the frosting to see if it is sweet enough.
6. After all the layers are ready, level them with a large bread knife. This will prevent the cake from tilting, and when you cut it they will evenly display when you cut into it.
7. Start with the purple layer first. Put the purple layer on your cake stand or plate. Add enough frosting to cover the layer and some to spill over the edges, anywhere from 1/2 to one cup of frosting. Run the flat, straight side of a knife around the cake to smooth out the edges.
8. Add the blue layer on the cake. Put frosting in the middle, start spreading out the frosting with the flat, straight side of a knife so that is covers the cake and falls out over the edges. Then run the knife around the outside edge of the cake to smooth out the sides.
9. Put the cake into the fridge for at least two hours or freeze for one hour.
10. Repeat with green layer , then the yellow layer.
11. Put the cake back in the fridge for at least two hour or freeze for one hour.
12. Repeat with orange layer , then the red layer
13. Cover the cake with frosting and run the flat, straight edge of a knife around the edges of the cake to smooth out the frosting.
14. Once you have finished the cake, add any decorative touches or words that fit your occasion.

Good luck and bon appetit! You can use the food colouring for basically any type of dough. You can make rainbow coloured cupcakes, pancakes, jelly or any other type of sweet you want to bake. These sweets look amazing and taste delicious.
