Rainbow Cakes

This spring it's all about color.... and color you can eat? Yes please! These fun confections can be versatile and suit a variety of occassions from baby showers, to Mother's Day, to birthday parties. Use this recipe from Martha Stewart as the basis then get creative. 

Play with the intensity of the colors in order to suit your occassion as well as the frosting outside. We love how this one from Foodista Blog mimicked the interior with ruffly layers of pastel colored frosting.

 

This one from Beyond and Beyond Blog doesn't need much explanation. Can you say Wow! Little dots of frosting meticulously placed in a rainbow pattern create this dramtic look.

For a more sophisticated look try it in just a couple of similar colors for a subtle look like this one from We Heart It Blog. This would make a perfect treat for Mother's Day this spring. 

You can also stick to shades of a single color like this one from I am Baker Blog we saw for St. Patricks day. This makes the possibilites endless!

Lastly, take this look to the extremes. If you or your baker have lots of patience try this version from Proof of my Existence Blog. It's sure to have everyone talking about the cake long after the party!
