Our youngest turned 8 years old in December. We threw him a rainbow themed party. It was a blast!
Of course, we had to have the rainbow cake that's all over Pinterest. Ours had to be gluten free, so I used Hodgson Mill Yellow Gluten Free Cake Mix,

I won't bore you with all the details, you can find them on Pinterest. Some things I did do differently since the cake was gluten free. I followed the cake mix directions exactly. Then I separated the mix into 6 bowls and added the gel food coloring.
GF cake mix is thick so when I did the first layer I thought everything was over. My cake was just standing there in a pile. It was not filling the pan. After a little shaking and coaxing it looked ok.
The cooked cakes. After they cooled, I used an electric knife to even the tops.
After frosting with a whipped cream frosting, I printed an 8 from my computer, cut it out and placed it on the cake. I then sprinkled like mad all around my 8 stencil.
This is a pic of my piece with vanilla ice cream, yum!
I made some other rainbow treats for the party like these rainbow kabobs and a rainbow layered jello with whipped cream on top.
Thanks for stopping by!
