Surprise Cake

There are two surprises in this cake. 

1.  It is not fondant

I need to work on my photography skills.

It's really not the best example of this method, it's my first try.  It is buttercream that is meant to look like fondant.  I hope to perfect this method after a few more practice runs.

2.  I made a rainbow!

This part of the surprise was my girls' favorite part.  Who doesn't love a rainbow?

I don't know that an explanation is needed, but I obviously divided the batter in 6 and colored them.  I layered red/orange, yellow/green, and blue/purple and viola!

Happy Belated St. Patrick's Day!!!
