Annalee's birthday cake!

Coming soon, a blog post all about Annalee's 2nd birthday but first....

I made this cake and wanted to share it with the world!

It may look kind of like something any kid could make and the decorations may not be fantastic, but it is not the outside of the cake that I am pumped about. It is the inside!

I decided to theme Anna's birthday party as a rainbow party. I did this on the Monday of the party week. Note to self: don't do that ever again.

This cake is a compilation of recipes I found on Pintrest. It was easier than making the rainbow layer cake, as I was pressed for time and felt exhausted after doing all of my other self-inflicted projects!

So, this is how it went.

I mixed up a white cake mix and created the different colors for the rainbow cake in separate bowls using colored gel.

I then gobbed the batter into a prepared pan. I chose to use an angel food cake pan with the thought of cutting the finished product in half and creating two separate rainbow shaped cakes and adding the cupcakes to the bottom to act as clouds. That did not happen, as you will see, but the thought was there!

 

 The cake was then baked per the directions on the box. Perhaps it was lazy of me to use a boxed cake, but those folks have been doing it a long time and I assume they stay in business for the ease and deliciousness of their products! 

Here is the completed product prior to decoration. I then baked a couple dozen cupcakes to ensure everyone would have their proper allotment of birthday cake at the party!

Here is the finished product! Delicious and vibrant, just like our little birthday girl!

I'd say she was pretty darn happy with it! Happy rainbow birthday, Annalee!
