My Niece Jessie turned very sweet 16 on May 3rd and every year since I have started baking cakes she has put in a birthday cake request!!! Since I have had ZERO training on making cakes and everything I know is self taught, this girl has FAITH, because every year it gets more difficult and more difficult! The theme for this year was The Beatles, the instructions that I got were "please put a Union Jack on the cake with a yellow submarine and the silhouettes from Abbey road, and could it please be Rainbow cake inside!!!" Considering I have never made a rainbow cake in my life before, I looked at her sweet face and said "Sure No Problem" with my lips and inside my head the little man who reminds you that you are cashing checks with your mouth that your body can't cover was running around like a crazed lunatic screaming "why did you say that why"! Well, I put on my brave face and this is what the end result was!
The Batter for the Rainbow cake!
The Batter in the pan going into the oven!
what it looked like out of the oven,
A view from the top after I had cut off the crust to level the cake, yip you see the whole and think What, a cake with a hole in the middle, don't worry if you look at the pictures going into the oven the silver flute thingy-ma-jig has cake batter inside and that acts as a plug!
Tad ah................
And that's what the inside looked like!
All in all I think it turned out pretty great, Jessie loved it and her friends thought it was awesome, so all is well that ended well!!! Oh by the way that cake tasted like you were biting into a rainbow it was moist and soft and sweet and yummy and made you feel good!!!
So we will see what next year brings......................thank goodness its a whole year away!!!
