Instead of using bright

It has been a while since I have made a new dessert. Last year I made this awesome Rainbow Cake for our Easter celebration so I figured it was time to make a different colorful cake. I’ve seen lots of Tie Dye Cakes on Pinterest so it was time to give it a try. Instead of using bright, typical tie dye colors, I chose spring colors for this cake.

I brought the cake to church and shared it with my class of 3-5th grade girls. They loved it! The cake looked cool and it was very moist and delicious. I love how this can be a different cake every time, depending on which colors you choose. Maybe I’ll make a red, white and blue cake for the 4th of July!

    I admit that I don’t like to bake anything fancy, but this looks so easy to do that I can give it a try. It reminds me of the King Cake for Mardi Gras.

    This looks super fun and easy to make! We have a traditional cake I’ve been making for years for Easter but this could be fun for a birthday or the TEEN Awards!

      Scarlet, we don’t celebrate Mardis Gras so I never even thought of that!

    I have never made a tied dyed cake and honestly thought they would be very complicated. This seems very doable, thanks for the tips!
