Rainbow Cake




It took me about 5hrs to complete this cake. Sorry for the ugly frosting, it's really my first baking such cake with frosting. The whole cake weighs about 2.2kg.

4 layers of 6inch
2 layers of 8inch

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet
I was a little sad that i did not manage to capture the sliced version of my cake =(

Anyway, i used BakingTaiTai's rainbow cake recipe for the whole cake: http://www.bakingtaitai.com/2013/09/rainbow-cupcake-cake-recipe.html
(top 4 colours, one time recipe)
(bottom, 2 colours, one time recipe)
in short, times two the recipe. =)

As for the cream cheese frosting, i always like to use Munira's recipe:
Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients:
240ml Rich Bettercreme (Non-dairy Whipped Topping)
70g Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 cup Icing Sugar
A few drops of Vanilla Extract

Method:
1. Combine cream cheese, vanilla and icing sugar together until smooth.

2. In a separate bowl, I whip the cream until thick, add the cream cheese mixture and continue to whip until stiff. Can be used immediately to pipe over cupcakes or layer and frost cakes.

Note: This frosting last for long hours at room temperature and doesn't melt.

***FYI, The above whipped cream cheese frosting is meant for 12 cupcakes, i use the recipe and x3 the amount to frost the whole rainbow cake.
