My husband is a huge fan of the peace sign (and the meaning behind it). I mean, will buy almost anything so long as it has a peace sign on it - even if he has absolutely no need for said item. So when it came time to make his birthday cake it was pretty easy to imagine the design.
To make a tye dye(or rainbow) cake you'll need the following items:
2 boxes of White Cake Mix(and the ingredients to prepare cake mix)
Food Coloring
Mixing bowls (one for each different color you'd like to use)
2 round 9" baking pans
a bit of patience
1. Mix your cake mix as described on the box.
2. Separate the mix into bowls.
3. Add/Stir a few drops of food coloring to each bowl until the desired tint of color is reached.
(Suggested colors are: Red, Orange, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink - Yellow tends to not come out so well as it just looks like yellow cake)
4. You can either layer (patience! patience! patience!) the batter, OR you can do what I do and take a spoonful and randomly splatter the batter in the pan (kind of like splatter paint).
5. When all of your batter is in your pans gently tap the pans on the counter to release any air bubbles and to distribute the batter more evenly.
6. Bake. Cool. Ice.
It's really simple and in the spirit of true tye dye you really can't mess it up. Play with colors and how you want to get the batter into your baking pans until you come up with what works best for you.
