Rainbow cake is perfect for a baby or child's birthday, is fun to make and eat and not even too difficult! Six/seven layers of sponge in every colour of the rainbow and a great suprise once you cut into it! A rainbow theme makes a perfect first birthday idea for a little boy or girl.
For Dylan's first birthday I had some very ambitious plans. Having never made a cake before by myself, I set the goal of a six layer rainbow cake to go with the rainbow theme I was planning. Here are a few things I learnt:

For Dylan's first birthday I had some very ambitious plans. Having never made a cake before by myself, I set the goal of a six layer rainbow cake to go with the rainbow theme I was planning. Here are a few things I learnt:
-Always make a practice layer. It helps make sure the mix is right and that the colour comes out how you want it.
-Liquid food colouring will not cut it. The paste is fantastic though and goes a long long way (I would recommend Sugarflair).
-Icing a 6 layer cake is not the easiest part!
-Don't be afraid to ask for help. I tweeted and had so much advice and recipes and found this one particularly helpful
So here is my recipe for rainbow cake.
16oz/450g butter
28oz/800g
