Rainbow Cake:

This St. Patrick's day, I made a rainbow cake for my kids. I used boxed cake mixes, food coloring, icing and m&ms to make this cake. It was super easy and the kids loved it. I'm not going to lie, next year, I will be making it a little different. Not so many layers and colored frosting in between the layers...maybe some yummy jelly layers...I don't know. 

I scooped one cup into separate bowls and colored with food coloring.  I just bought some natural food coloring and wish I had it for this recipe.  I can't wait to give it a try and see how it works.

I baked according to the directions, but watched close because they cook quickly.

After cooking all the layers, I froze them and stacked them  Once frozen they were quite easy to put the frosting on.

Using M&Ms we made a rainbow.  This was my kid's favorite part.
