Just mix up a regular white cake mix.
Divide up the cake mix into several bowls. Use food coloring to create the desired colors. I just mixed up the basics: Red, yellow, blue, purple, orange, and green.
This is where kids love to help! My nephew was a regular artist. Just take spoonfuls of colored cake batter and start plopping them into a cake pan, taking turns to create color patterns. (I used a bundt pan this time, but it works just as well in a rectangular pan too!). I remember as kids, trying to make sure that we didn't let the same colors touch.
Bake according to the directions. I realize I could have decorated this MUCH cuter (how about using green-colored coconut for grass??), but this was an impromptu idea. So we just went for good ol' yellow frosting.
Super Cute!!
Such a fun Spring dessert and a great way to get kids involved too.
How cute is that? Very!!! I just saw your comment on my blog from NFF. I don't know how I missed it before. Sorry for taking so long to return the visit. It's very nice to meet you!
p.s. I absolutely love your blog name!
Hello there,
This is just so cute and yummy looking! Thanks for sharing! I'll have to try this sometime; such fun!
Please pop by for a visit..,
Cheers
Adorable cake! My four year old would love all the fun spring colors.
Since you made it in a bundt pan, you could fill the middle with jelly beans and top the frosting with tinted green coconut and put colorful peep bunnies and chicks on it!
WOW! Bake-a-Holic, I needed you on Sunday. What a fabulous idea. Next year, I am definitely doing a jelly bean cake extravaganza.
How creative! I'm going to remember that one for Taylor's birthday in another few months…all the colors will drive him wild! 🙂
Love it! I think I'll do it in my egg shaped cake pan next year with the kids! Super cute!
It is just a REALLY good thing that it's midnight, or I would be heading to the store this INSTANT for white cake mix so I can make this!! Why, oh why didn't I find you before Easter! 🙂 Love that cake, in case you couldn't tell, LOL
How fun is that!!! It looks super yummy too 🙂
Fun and easy — and I am trying this with my 4 year old. Yummy
