potato bar and rainbow cake

what is better than cake? a rainbow cake! about a year ago, i made rainbow cupcakes and they turned out really good! so last may, i decided i wanted a rainbow cake for my birthday.....and it flopped. the cake stuck to the sides of the pan when i was trying to take it out ( i made it in two 8" rounds), even though i sprayed the pan with PAM, like really good! but it still stuck. sooo.. this time around i got smart and put wax paper in the pan and it came out great! for the main course i made a potato bar! i had cottage cheese, sour cream, cheese sauce, broccoli, bacon and chives. my family had a lot of fun building their own creation.

Recipe:

Rainbow Cake:

Ingredients: 

• white cake box mix
• frosting of your choice
• food coloring

Make box mix as directed on the back of the box.

Separate batter into three separate bowls. Add coloring. (I know this seems like a lot of food coloring, but it really doesn't affect the taste and the colors turn out bright and vibrant.

Make sure you thoroughly mix the color into the batter.

Spray pan with PAM.

Line bottom of pan with wax paper.

Spray wax paper with PAM.

Then layer colored batter on top of each other in the order of the rainbow. it takes a little bit of thinking when you're doing a two layer round cake.


 Then just bake as directed on the box.

Cool and frost.

And then eat!
