the rainbow cake.

 

so i've been taking it easy this week. a little vacay from the online world while spending time with family. hello rest and relaxation! well, not totally. but hello sunshine and the lake!

and then i upgraded to internet explorer 9 and have been having issues with sites displaying correctly. especially typepad. so now i'm finally able to get photos in a post and resume posting on a somewhat regular basis. (sorry about that, miriam!)

so while having a bit of extra time on my hands, i've edited april and may photos this week. may included a vacation to see my family where we also were able to celebrate our niece's birthday. being the doting aunt that i am (because i only have one niece and one nephew), i volunteered to make her birthday cake. she was having a difficult time deciding on what type of cake she wanted when i threw out the suggestion of a rainbow cake as i had been wanting to give it a try for a while now. it turns out she loves rainbows so it was the perfect suggestion and the perfect cake for her third birthday.

i love how from the outside, this cake is so unassuming. but as soon as i cut into it, everyone at the party oohed and aahed. i'll definitely be making this one again. i have visions of an orange and black halloween cake and a red and green cake for christmas... so many ideas, so little time.

I love the rainbow cake! I saw one in a magazine that had blue frosting & white clouds - thought it was super cute, with the rainbow colors inside.
