Rainbow Cake

This recipe was in a neighborhood flier the other day and I thought it looked fun.

Start with one white cake mix and follow the instructions on the box to mix. Separate into small bowls, one for each color you want to make. We did 6 colors (we also were making 2 cakes at once, so we have more than if you make only one) Add gel food coloring to each bowl and mix. Drop spoonfuls of different colors into pans. Bake per directions. Cool and frost. I used canned white frosting mixed with instant pudding mix, then added sprinkles. (Everything is better with sprinkles!)

Just catching up with all your activities! You've been one busy lady!

This cake is adorable! And even though my kids are soooooo OLD! I know they'd love it! I have to try it! LOL

And I wish I had thought of those hot dog octupi (?) when mine were small, I would have at least got some "meat" in my son's mouth!

Oh and can't forget your yard looks amazing! How I'd love to see grass. We're still bogged down by snow in the worst winter EVER!!

Diana, you are one step ahead of me! I am still playing catch-up at the stay-home mom gig (and loving it)

Hugs!

WOW... That is pretty cool!~

I have to admit... I did the Octodogs last night, took pictures of them, and then took pictures of the kids eating them! I haven't downloaded the camara yet, but once I do, I will forward the pictures! We only did Six Leggers like you suggested... I was trying to create a name for them besides Octo Dog, using the Prefix of 6 with dogs... I laughed my butt off when I said it out loud... You could imagine that one~

Hugs

Wendy, I was wondering if you could direct me to your recipe for homemade laundry detergent. Our first batch is starting to run out, but I cannot remember the timing of when you posted your recipe.

We make the rainbow cake at least once a month at our house. I find it hilarious and sort of scary, but the kids absolutely love it.

I love the octodogs idea and am going to copy you! Thanks for the idea. Our boys are going to be so surprised when I make them octodogs for the first time this weekend.
