How To Make rainbow birthday cake

1
Mix the water,eggs, sour cream, and vanilla with paddle attachment then add the other four ingredients. Makes about 7 1/2 cups batter to fill two full 8″ rounds, Bake as directed by box instructions. Cool completly. Stack and ice with white frosting. For 6 colors as shown you will need to make three batches each divided in half into two pans adding a different color to each pan.

2
To decorate use a clay extruder to push out long strips of fondant colored to match cake layers, or use decorator icing colored to match in a decorator bag with a round decorating tip. Useing a turntable to spin the cake as you decorate will make this easier.
3
Roll out fondant balls or use gumballs for top.
4
To make icing: Beat all together at high speed for 10 minutes then on low for another 5 mins. Frost layers with white then separate into bowls for other colors. Not a good idea to use a hand mixer for this.
