Serenity Outside; Semi-Controlled Chaos Inside


Herself asked for a rainbow layer cake for her party


So, I hastened to oblige.


I do love playing with colors.


Six skinny layers and a whole wallop of chocolate icing. The ratio of chocolate to cake is at least 2 to 1--which is the way she likes it.

The cake will rest in the refrigerator overnight. I have a whole array of tchotchkes (unicorns, stars, rainbow, clouds) to decorate the top after it makes the trip down to Josie's house tomorrow. There will be pictures.

Right now I'm relaxing with an adult beverage while I wait for the strength to tackle the mess in the kitchen and cook dinner.

UPDATE: John came in from working in the yard and did all the dishes! How lucky I am!

You are such a good granny.

Oh that cake will be so well loved, as you yourself are! Going to great lengths is always (hopefully) rewarded by lots of praise! And someone else did the dishes! That in itself is a first reward!

A rainbow cake how cute.

Your rainbow cake looks perfect, way better than the one I made for my youngest once!
