Lily’s Birthday Cake
My niece, Lily, is into rainbows this year, so I made her a rainbow birthday cake for her 3rd birthday.
Royal icing flowers in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet (yes I left out indigo).
Multi-color batter for the layers (I had just put the blue layer in the oven).
Assembling the cake did not go smoothly. I used 7-minute icing in between the layers. It wasn’t as thick as I would have liked and the layers slid around. I had to just hold them in place until the frosting started to hold. My arms were covered in icing, there was icing all over the table and the stove – it was a mess. I refrigerated it overnight and by the next morning it was starting to behave. I covered the cake with buttercream, which hid most of the mistakes.
