Hi , everyone. I’m too looking for a recipe for a rainbow cake. I have never attempted it, would like any hints, tips thanks

Rainbow cakes are not hard, they do take more time cooking all the different coloured layers. The end effect is so worth it.

I have wanted to try & make a rainbow cake for many months now but have been to worried it would be to time consuming.
After reading some of these comments I am now quite keen to give it a try!

I have made them before. they are so cool for kids cakes. i usually use a orange cake mix divide it up into different bowls and mix through colours and cook as normal.

I made a layered rainbow cake for my sons 1st birthday it was just the number one, I made up 5 different layers so 5 cakes, in different colours. I joined them together with buttercream icing then buttercream iced the whole lot and wrote on it! Was relish and turned out perfect!

How did you go with the cake?

Good fun to make and they look good too; just go easy on the food colouring!

Yep, easy. Just don’t mix it too much as you don’t want the colours to run into each other.

all these answers are helpful. i just have fun getting them out when they are stuck in the tin

I’ve made a green crocodile cake and it was diddly but if you have the patience go for it

I have made a rainbow cake. My main advice is to make sure you level off all the layers before putting the cake together. I didn’t do this and my cake was tilting all over the place and I was trying to even it out with loads of icing between the layers – not an ideal situation.

I’ve been wanting to give it a try

my friend makes a great one, they are easy and the ones online work fine

I have made rainbow cake from a basic plain cake recipe divided into 3 batches and coloured 2. Then layer 1 colour at the time , once in tin swirl a long skewer through cake . Bake and enjoy.

This is the finished product. It was a huge success

I have for my sons third birthday it was five layers I added a drop of dye to each layer and then stacked them one on top of the other using cream inbetween so they would stick to each other and not move too much while I was covering in fondant my advice woukd be gice plent of time to make ot

i enjoy making the rainbow cake, the kids really enjoy it as well

I made a rainbow cake a while back for my boys birthday. It was time consuming but not too hard! Just make 1 or 2 vanilla cake mixes then separate them into bowls. Colour each bowl and cook each cake then layer with cream once they are cooled

thanks for asking the question, read the answers and got some great tips

The Cake worked so well. I used gel colours and it looked so great. 6 layers and Butter cream frosting in-between, and finished off with fondant. A really great result if your thinking about trying give it a go. But make sure you have a day spare.
