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. :)
