Rainbow Cake

So the trial was done, you can check it out here. I made a traditional 6 layer all the colour of the rainbow cake. I found it WAY too sweet. Anyways, so here is the modified version. Four layers, more girlie-ish colours.

So here is a quick run threw of the cake.

I started with a bunch of colour fondant.

Rolled it all out, and cut an obscene amount of flowers, varying sizes and colours.

I coloured the 4 layers, pink, purple, turquoise, and green. Use the gel colours, they will be much brighter.
Layered it with some yummy butter cream.

Cover the whole cake with butter cream.

Rolled on some white fondant, then started putting on the flowers. (In the order of the rainbow of course... Thank you cat in the hat for the song that is drilled in my brain!

Here is the birthday girl and her cake!

And my daughter waiting to tear into that cake!

And a couple of shots of inside.

 I used this *white cake* recipe, and a regular butter cream recipe.

Butter Cream:
1 cup butter
4 cups sifted icing sugar
big splash of vanilla
pinch of salt
3-4 tbsp heavy cream

Cream butter and sugar, splash of vanilla and pinch of salt. Add heavy cream slowly tablespoon by tablespoon until you get the consistency you're looking for.

Enjoy!
