If you are looking to please a tween or a teen on their birthday, make them a tie-dyed cake that will be the center of attraction at their birthday party. Use bright colored gels to color frosting to use on the cake. Alternately, you can use cake decorating sprays in different colors to give the cake an airbrushed look. Make the cake batter in different colors so that the cake looks tie-dyed as well. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Prepare the cake batter according to the directions on the cake mix box. Divide the batter into three bowls.
Add red food color to one bowl, blue food color to the second bowl and green food color to the last bowl. You can divide the batter into more sections if you want to add more color to the cake.
Pour the batters beside each other in a round or square baking pan. Swirl the batters with a knife to give the cake a tie-dyed marbled look. Bake the cake as directed and allow it to cool completely.
Spread white frosting on the cake in a smooth and even layer, covering the top and sides well.
Using the cake decorating sprays according to their directions, spray red color in circles at 3 or 4 spots on the cake. Spray blue rings around the red circles. Finish off by spraying yellow rings around the blue rings. Make sure you cover the sides of the cake with colored sprays too.
Garnish with sprinkles and add a frosting border to the cake if desired.
