Color your cake batter

Did you know you can color your cake batter the same way you color your icing? Try adding a touch of blue or pink to your cake batter to make a pastel cake for Easter or yellow and orange for Halloween.

You could make a two or three layer cake with each layer a different color, like the picture above.

Color your cake batter the same way you do the icing. Use a small amount of color on a toothpick or a small drop if using a liquid color. Remember it doesn't take a lot to get a nice pastel color, so just start with a touch at first.


This is a simple way to make the inside of your cake a fun surprise.
