Rainbow Cake

It is time for that wonderful day...Easter Sunday! I like serving a beautiful and colorful cake just for that day. My family love this cake because it has a unique favor and color as well. I use Jell-O favor in every layer.


Choose your family about 5 or 6 favorite Jello-O mix. Next buy Dancan Hine Cake mixes. you can really match these favors and add more bold favor to the cake mix with using the Jello-O.

If you want a green layer cake buy classic white cake mix and add 6 tablespoon of lime Jello-O

If you want a Orange layer cake buy Orange Supreme and 3 tablespoons orange Jell-O

You'll get the Picture....so on and so.(If you use one box of cake mix. follow cake mix direction and put half in a bowl and add just 3 tablespoon of Jell-O to each bowl and bake.


you can frost your cake like an Easter Egg with an icing tool in many colors


you can also wrap them and keep them frozen until you are ready for them and save time.



Stack the layers on top of each other very well with icing on each side



Get bowls and mix your colors using food coloring and 1 tablespoon Jell_O in each favor
Or just no color icing at all.
