After having a bit of success with Calvin’s pigeon cake, I am on the hunt for some fun things to do in the kitchen. No, we don’t have any more birthdays coming up. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have cake! And as long as we are having cake, it might as well be rainbow cake. Am I right?

These cakes are more time consuming than they are difficult, but you can’t deny the wow factor when you slice into a rainbow cake. They are just adorable! And people are really so creative in how they package them up. Just look at these 5 rainbow cake ideas and prepare to be amazed.
