This is just cake mix from a box (white or another light color), food coloring, and seven minute frosting. To make the color layers, start by mixing up the cake batter. Separate the batter in equal amounts into separate containers, depending on however many different colors you want. I used seven here. Add a few drops of food coloring to each. The strength of the color is by preference, so play around with this and see what you like.
Note: Red is a hard color to get, unless you want to use an entire bottle of food coloring. As you can see, the red will generally come out pink.
Pour the batter, one by one into your prepared cake pan. Make sure you keep track of the order! I started with purple and worked up to red/pink. If you plan on flipping the cake after it has baked, start with the layer you want to be on top. Otherwise, start with the layer you want to be on the bottom.
Just bake the cakes according to the box and let cool. I like to use seven minute frosting because it comes out white (and I like the taste). Unlike regular icing you are probably used to, this recipe does not use any butter. It's mostly sugar and egg whites (low cholesterol but high sugar). If you do decide to use the seven minute frosting, make sure the cake is completely cool before icing it! There was a mishap once where the frosting melted off the cake. Whoops!
This is also a single layered cake, but feel free to put icing in between to make a rainbow layered cake! You can also play with the colors and but red, orange, and yellow in one cake and green, blue, and purple in the other. Just a thought!
Also, try cupcakes!
The "Courtney" and butterflies are just gummies found at Wegmans.
Enjoy!
