I Duttits- Making a Rainbow Cake

A few weeks ago I posted about not being able to make a proper cake… Well this time I’ve done it. Last week was my husband’s birthday and he requested a rainbow cake.

OK I have to admit, I kind of cheated… I used ‘box’ cake but the colouring I did all by myself :p

I mixed the cake mix as indicated on the box. I used Betty Crocker cake mix and then divided into four bowls and added colouring.

My plant was to decorate the cake with an icing bag, but my husband doesn’t like buttery icing so the icing was too stiff to push through a bag. Unfortunately I forgot my camera on and I couldn’t take a picture when I finished icing the cake. Therefore I only took a picture after we started eating the cake but here it is

Not everyone can be Martha Steward.

As some of you might know, I am addicted to cake. Last week I saw some pretty cakes on pinterest and even saw the amazing rainbow cake.

 

But first I decided to make this little blue cake. I’ve never baked cake before except once I made a chocolate cake from a box. I wanted to make different coloured cakes before I made the rainbow cake. My first cake had to look something like this.

OK so I made the cake and poured white chocolate over it but the chocolate was too light and ended up looking really shitty. So this was my end result. It tasted great but didn’t look that great.

It was a little disappointing that it didn’t come out right but then my husband said to me ” you’ve never been good at baking”….

I think I’ll just stick to what I know, I have always said that the only thing I can cook well is salad…
