Rainbow Cake in a Jar!


A basic white cake is turned into a colour-wheel, baked to perfection, then topped with a creamy white frosting...in a glass jar!

I've come to learn that creativity reaches it's peak when it comes to food, & i wasn't going to waste the opportunity to go a little crazy!

 Great for dinner parties + get togethers, after-school treats for the kids or as a surprise for someone you love! Someone's birthday in the office - just pop a few candles on and you'll be the coolest friend out there ;)

Enjoy the photos! 

Mason jars - heavy duty and can handle high temps. (can use jam jars)

nothing wrong in using Betty Crocker's delicious cake mix for quick recipes! (instructions are on the box)
cake mix powder
beloved measuring cups
1/3 cup vegetable oil (canola will do)
2 eggs
all in together
mix it all up in your cake mixer until nice and smooth
(will get back to the recipe, but first) Today i had to go on the usual Tavola shopping spree!
today's guest loves shopping too.. 
he really does..
seriously :)
back to the recipe 

separate cake mix into different small bowls to colour each one 
Wilton's Icing colour - i recommend wearing gloves with all types of food colouring - it gets EVERYWHERE! 

pink! 

purple!
leaf green!

use non-stick spray and cover every inch of your jars
layer up the different coloured mixtures 



Tadaaa! fill up to half way up so theres no overflow of cake mix will its rising in the oven
retro jar! no.2 chopsticks used to move the mix around for design
if you use an entire box of cake mix - you might have some left over, so i suggest using it to make cupcakes, or like above, small cakes (tooth-picks are good to get the marble effect with colour)

out of the oven! if there has been any overflow while baking, cut the excess off with a sharp knife

:)
spongey and airy :)
whisk some whipping cream for the frosting (you can buy it ready made by Betty Crocker too, in different flavours/colours)

should be light and fluffy in texture 
jar no. 2 - will leave it rounded :)




decoration is key!


dig in!






With love! xx
