Rainbows & Ruffles

Pin It
Miss J is 4!  
I can't believe it!




For her birthday, she wanted an "Art Party".  It was so much fun! 

My favorite part was the cake.  I haven't had this much fun making (and eating) a cake in a long time!

My inspiration for the cake was one I saw at Whisk Kid. 

Instead of making a cake from scratch, I just used boxed cake mix, and Wilton food coloring (aLOT of food coloring!).


Here's how my cake turned out!




I love how bright the layers are!



Here's the whole sha-bang:



Top of the cake:



I ADORE the ruffles.  Miss J seemed pretty excited too :)





To make the ruffles, I used Wilton tip #103(the rose tip), and made zig zags all over the top.

In the colors of the rainbow of course!


Crafty Mama was the inspiration on the ruffles!

More details on the Art Party to come....

    That is beautiful! Thank you so much for linking it up! I totally wish I wasn't on a diet, because I would be making and devouring a cake that is identical right now... Great job and can't wait to see the rest of the party!

    LOVE IT! Saw you on Sew Stinkin Cute. My 3 year old thinks 'rainbow' is a color all its own.
