A Colorful Cake. - Edible

         This was one of the times my Mom and I shared in creating color with baking.  You might already know this one, but I will share it for memories sake if so.  Children enjoy seeing the colors mixed in one piece of cake when it is cut and served to them. I know my brothers and sisters of mine and myself so enjoyed.   The only ingredients needed are a white box cake mix, follow what else on the box to mix together.  Food coloring ,and regular size bowls to put an even amount of the mixed batter in each bowl when all of the batter is placed in each bowl.  Put one bowl of the batter aside to keep the white color. Now take a spoon for each bowl then have fun mixing in one color of each for the bowls you have in front of you.  After each one is mixed, Take a ladle or tablespoon and one at a time ladle or spoon one color in different areas and move on to the next color. Fill in the spaces. When the spaces are filled and you have more left  of the batter then put a spoonful on top of the batter in the cake pan till it is all gone. Now take a butter knife and from one end of the corner to the other diagonally swirl the knife through to you reach the other corner. Then take another corner that is left and swirl it once also.  So you in reality should only swirl it with the knife twice.  Remember if you swirl it too much it will become like a grayish color. Then we miss the reason what we expected to see in the first place.   Now make a white frosting with confectioners sugar and two tablespoons of milk and choose just one color for the frosting. You can leave it white or choose another color of your choice from the food coloring.                                                                           

        I so enjoyed doing this with my brothers and sisters even if we fought over who was going to get to have and taste from the bowl or beater.   The Birthday Child got to have first dibs.

        This recipe would work best with at least two boxes of white cake mix. In a 13''by 9'' pan.  For the time etc. look at the back of the box and how your oven temp. works for you.                                                       

        Any questions do not hesitate to ask.    Enjoy your weekend.
