Rainbow Cake

Okay, so many of you have asked about the rainbow cake.  We found the idea on another blog we read, MckMama.  Here's how we did ours:

You will need 2 boxes of white or vanilla cake mix, plus the ingredients to make them.  You will also need different food coloring.  You can make it with just the box that has the normal 4 colors in it, red, blue, yellow and green.  However, we also bought another box of "neon" food coloring just to be able to mix them better to get the look we wanted. Or thought we wanted. :) 

Seperate each cake batter mix into 3 equal parts and put into individual bowls.  Or just guess and spoon out a little for all 3 of your kids. :)  Then start the coloring process!! 

And for icing, we just use the same cream cheese icing that we use for other cakes, or the red velvet cookie recipe, except of course we didn't put nuts in this icing.  

Here's the only secret I have as to why it came out so terribly moist.  Like really, really moist....just ask those who ate it.  And it was by default, really.  We didn't read the box instructions very well.  We saw it said add 2 eggs, and so we did.  It said only add egg whites......oops.  We had already mixed our batter up and was about to start dropping in the colors!  So, in our opinion....add 2 whole eggs!! :)

Let us know if you make any cool rainbow cakes....we'd love to see pictures.
