Rainbow Fairy Cakes

Look what we made!  These are beautiful and just sweet and tasty.  They are awesome because there is so much eye candy that the kids didn't ask for icing!  Which is also great because I didn't have any on hand and I really didn't feel like "whipping" some up.  I got this idea from www.ourbestbites.com.  Check it out soon.  You will be pleased.

How do you do it?  Prepared white cake mix-divided into 5 bowls. (Actually prepare the cake batter.)  Put food dye in each and mix.  Then spoon layer the colors in any order that pleases you.  A beautiful bright result every time.  

Tips: cover your counters the dye is serious business.  Buy the gel dye not the liquid.  If you are mixing colors--light dye first then add dark.  You can even add extracts to change the flavor and it only adds to the appeal because then they smell great too!


I call these Mork & Mindy since the red and orange sort of ran together.  I still adore them though.  My family loves these and we will make them again and again.   By the way, don't you love my picture?  I love my camera--thank you dear husband.
