and knew I wanted to make it for my oldest daughter's birthday. Well, the day has come! Last night I stayed up until about 1am finishing it. :)
In the example picture, it's obvious that she took the time to bake each layer individually, but let's be honest. Who has that kind of time?? Well, I suppose I could have done it, but I really didn't want to. Instead, I divided the batter into six equal parts and colored them. Then in one cake pan I layered it (bottom to top) yellow, orange, red. In the other I layered it purple, blue, green. I knew the colors would mix somewhat, but I had hoped they would still look like layers when we cut into it.
The picture doesn't do it justice - the colors are much brighter in person. And even though it didn't turn out exactly as I had imagined, my daughter absolutely loved it! And that's all that really matters, right??
And as a side note, I used Dana's (from MADE) recipe to make the cake mix healthier. I thought it was pretty good, but seemed a little dry. Will have to play with it in the future. :)

Your cake looks way cooler. I'll have to try that for our next birthday.
That cake is awesome! I'll admit to being too lazy to play with different flavors or colors...but what an awesome effect it has!
