joannqn Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Last year when I read this thread, I put a reminder in my Google calendar with the link so I could make the same cake. And I did! It was a bit tricky simply because of the number of layers. If I do it again, I'd look for something other than food coloring to color the layers. Even using "no taste" red, I can taste it too much. Family liked it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unicorn. Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 That looks awesome! For the colors, try using a little bit of kool aid from a packet. It will flavor it, but at least it will be fruity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staceyobu Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 That's awesome! Maybe I'll try next year! How did you cut the layers so neatly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Put the cakes (3 red and 1 blue 9 inch round cakes) in the freezer for a little bit so that they are really cold but not frozen. Then used a bread knife to cut the domed tops off of each cake and cut each cake in half. The white layers are just buttercream frosting. For the last red cake, I cut the top off, cut it in half and then used a bowl to cut out the center. I cut the remaining rings in half (like a half circle) to make transferring them to the cake easier, icing between layers. Finally, I used the same bowl to cut the center of the blue cake and plopped that in the center hole on the cake. I rushed through it, but it would have been easier to ice between layers if I had put the cake in the freezer for a bit between layers.

Jenny in Florida Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Hey, me, too! I saw it posted somewhere last year and put a reminder to myself on the calendar to try it this year. I didn't get the right number of layers, because I lost patience. But it was a hit here, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family liked it though. What about red velvet cake? It is beautiful red cake. Have you ever tried the Wilton food coloring? I think it has a more muted flavor than the standard drops. Now I am craving a piece of cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I love it! I did a rainbow cake for my son's first birthday, so my layers had to all be baked separately since they were different colors. It's tedious, but I loved the results. I'm going to have to try this next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
