Rainbow Cake

Inspired by this beautiful rainbow cake, I decided to be brave and try to make on for Sofia's 6th birthday party. 
Fingers crossed, as I am not much of a baker or a chef. But I love to tray new things and I am shameless haha
Sofia helped me full of her young enthusiasm.

I used  2 Betty Crocker white cake mixes and followed the instructions on the box. For the rainbow colours, I used gel food colouring, not the liquid  one.
After separating the batter in 6 bowls equally, I started pouring them slowly to a 9 inch baking pan. I poured one on top of the other layer by layer, right in the centre.


Baked a little longer than the instructions, around 40 minutes each. Leave it to cool 10 minutes in the  pan and 1 hour on a cookie grid. Actually I made the cake at night and only decorated them in the morning.


As I mentioned before, made 2 cakes
After I put them together with frosting in the middle, I started the fun part!
Some colourful twizzers for a rainbow and mini marshmallows as clouds...how cute:)




I do not have a cake carrier . Not to worry. This is the genius way my hubby suggested me to carry the cake to the party location. It worked. Toothpicks and ceramic wrap!
 And here it is!



Rainbow cake and yummy cake too!

Rainbow Party Loot Bag

I have many of these paper bags available as I bought tons last year for my craft fairs.
So I decided to use them somehow and not spend more $ to buy new colourful bags.
But  the party is a rainbow themed one...we need colours, uh?

 What I did:
I cut the handles, punched a circle to be filled in with the little mini rainbow notebook I made with scrapbook paper. Very simple but adds the rainbow to the 
bag!

Rainbow Party Bow Ties and Hair Bow Clip

Sofia is having a  rainbow party tomorrow . I know, I know I ALSO thought this years party would be a non themed one...oh well... Her 6 the birthday.
She asked for a theme. And I said..yes :)
But as the party won't be at home, it is gonna be a quite subdued version of the madness I have  done in previous years :)
But me being "me",  I had to have some little things, so I came up with little  rainbow bow tie for the boys  and colourful flowers for the girls.
The birthday girl will have a huge rainbow hair clip on her hair. Her request.
I bought cheap ribbon at Dollarama
Rainbow!!!
Machine  stitched them together
Cut 12 inches long pieces, stitched them together


Elastic thread

Cover with ribbon
Another ribbon with velcro attached

Flowers....
And bow ties go well together!
Flowers and Bow ties go well together
Now to Sofia's hair bow clip I cut a longer piece of my rainbow, again with the elastic thread tied in the middle and then covered with ribbon.


Attached an alligator clip

Ready

My rainbow girl!
