Finally!!!
I made the rainbow cake which I was dreaming of making for a long time! This cake is for my lovely daughter Layla ( the middle one) who turned seven. You probably noticed that I usually make a big fuss about colours and colour combinations. This cake is a complete mix of colours and reflects Layla’s happy, cheerful and bright personality, she is my little Rainbow!
We were at my friend’s daughter’s party six months ago and they had a rainbow cake. So Layla asked me if I can make a rainbow cake for her party. It took me ages to bake, because I only had one tin this size! Opps! But what you can’t do for your own child!!! Also we were at a pre-Christmas party the night before, so we were late home at 10.30 PM. The last thing I wanted to do after the party was to decorate the cake! It had to be finished so worked until 2 AM in the morning and was woken up by my little one at 6 AM, because he was bringing me breakfast in bed! What a lovely boy!!!
Finally, I used lovely Violet’s from the “Violet Cake Shop” tutorial of Two-Toned Petals. Her design of a purple wedding cake was so striking that I really wanted to try her technique.

The flavours of the cake were Gluten free vanilla cake and Gluten free chocolate cake with chocolate ganache.
Thank you for looking!
Merry Christmas and Happy New year!

Gulnaz, this cake is as perfect as it can be, I can just imagine the time it took to mix all the colors and get the perfect shades of both fondant and the cake. It really represents the color and happiness of a child. Happy Birthday to your daughter! <3
