Prepare Vanilla Cake

Prepare the 6lb portion of Yos Ultimate Vanilla Cake. Divide evenly into 7 bowls (about 14 oz of batter per bowl). Dye each portion one colour of the rainbow.

Bake Cakes

Divide all of the coloured batter between your 14 prepared cake pans. Two cake pans per colour. Bake the cakes at 350 for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let cool.

Level Cakes

Remove the cakes from their pans, levelling them, and cutting each into two layers. Each coloured cake will be made up of four layers.

Cut Out Cake Holes

Using the 1 1/2 circle cutter, cut a hole from the centre of the two middle cake layers in each colour.

Prepare Simple Syrup

Prepare the simple syrup and soak all the cake layers.

Prepare Buttercream

Prepare the Italian Meringue Buttercream. To fill each cake, place one cake layer down and spread on a layer of buttercream. Then place a cake layer, with a hole cut out, on top. Use a piping bag to pipe a ring of buttercream on top of the cake and spreading it with an offset spatula.

Layer and Fill Cakes with Sprinkles

Place the second cake layer with a hole cut out on top. Fill this secret chamber with rainbow sprinkles, filling all the way to the top. Flip the final layer of cake over and spread a layer of buttercream, flip again and place onto the cake.

Repeat with Other Cakes

Repeat this process with the remaining 6 colours of cake. Once completed, crumb coat and chill for 20 minutes.

Ice Cakes

Ice them smoothly, and chill again.

Mark Cake Boards

Make a mark on the bottom of the cake board to label the colour. Once they are all white, you wont be able to tell.

Cover Cakes with Fondant

Cover each cake with fondant. I rolled out 3/4 lb at a time, and had 1/2 lb left over once the cake was covered.

Prepare Decorating Station

Set up a cake decorating station, invite your friends over or decorate with your kids.

Paint Cakes

Paint your cakes using the same gel food colouring that was used to dye them. Dilute it with food grade alcohol or white food colouring to make it more opaque.

Decorate Cakes

Draw on the cakes with food colouring markers. Glue candy all around with the help of royal icing. Brush on a base of clear piping gel and throw on some sprinkle and sugar.
