that’s right its psychedelic rainbow cake time! my previous rainbow cake for ffichiban was pretty fun to make but i didn’t have the pleasure of seeing the swirlies in person so decided to make the rainbow cake for noods

splitting the cake mixture into separate bowls. notice how the green and blue aren’t as vivid as the red and yellow? that’s because the green and blue gels i bought were cheap and crap. lesson learnt: while food colouring gels are way way better than the food colouring liquids there are different quality gels.

colour sequence! if you don’t plan on icing the top of your cake put blue batter on last because if you end with the red batter the cake just looks brown

bowls. spoons. empty.

cakeage with cream cheese buttercream icing and a penrith panthers edible sticker. i bought the sticker. surprisingly tasty.

CAKE INNARDS!!! look at the swirlies!

singular slice

heh noods’ shirt says ‘i dont want to grow up’ lol he wore it especially for today haha happy 26th love!
Other rainbow cakes I’ve made:
FFichiban’s Mario Mushroom Rainbow Cake
Helen’s 20 Layer Rainbow Cake
Back to home
Psychedelic! Love the pics of the empty bowls and dirty spoons. And ooh, I spy cupcakes! lol
Noods’ t-shirt is perfect!

— Karen Aug 17, 04:45 AM #Heehee I love the awesome psychedelic swirls! I imagine eating this would have a similar effect to having a lot of red cordial, sugar high!!!! Happy Birthday to Noods!
— Steph Aug 17, 09:25 AM #Happy Birthday Noods! I love rainbow cakes – it brings back memories of when I was little and they were the biggest hit at parties! :)
— Katie Aug 17, 09:55 AM #Looks like someone has adopted your signature knife-in-hand pose :) Hope he had a great birthday (and that you got to sleep at a decent hour on Saturnight after making cake!)
— shez Aug 17, 09:57 AM #Hmmm, it looks delicious. I imagine I’d be bouncing off the walls after a slice, with those psychedelic colours!
— Michelle Aug 17, 11:40 AM #That is one bright cake. Wow.. Happy birthday to Noods. Hope he had a really good day.

— FFichiban Aug 17, 11:40 PM #What a psychedelic cake! That would be a cool cake to have at a 60’s themed party.
— Jacq Aug 18, 02:16 AM #Wow, you really know you way around rainbow cakes :)
Interesting shirt but I thought he wore it because he didn’t want to receive psychedelic mushroom cake.
— Simon Aug 18, 07:38 PM #helen: hehe yeah the spoons and bowls are pretty compared to how they normally look with normal colour batter haha
