What you will need: Two packets of butter cake mix, large mixing bowl, four smaller mixing bowls, four spoons to mix with, smarties, eggs (check cake packet for amount), butter (check cake packet for amount),Icing (included in cake mix packet), food colouring, round cake tin.

Step 1 –  Make cake as per instructions on cake mix box. Divide cake mix evenly into four bowls and add a different colour to each bowl using the food colouring. Mix each colour well.

Step 2 – When each colour has been thoroughly mixed in the four separate bowls, add the four colours into a greased round cake tin.

Step 3 – Using a knife, slightly swirl through the different colours in your cake tin to give a marbling effect. Do not mix too much or else the colours may blur into one.

Step 4 – Bake as per instructions on back of cake mix pack (usually around 45 minutes on 180 degrees Celsius).

Step 5 – Your delicious Rainbow cake is now ready to decorate so ice using the icing that is included with the cake mix.  Then  place the smarties in whatever colourful pattern you like. If you would like to decorate it as in photo above then begin with one colour in the middle and continue making circles of different colours around each one until entire cake is covered.

Step 6 – Eat and enjoy –  it tastes just as good as it looks!
