Today we celebrated Max's Christening and first Birthday at our home with our family. My mum did her usual amazing cooking thing and my Aunty Jane cooked lots of wonderful sweets. My job was the Christening/Birthday cake. One of my client's told me about this rainbow cake and how easy it was to make. I was very doubtful! However, it turns out that it was a very easy cake to make and it is an absolute show stopper! Thanks Charmaine for sending me the link to this fabulous cake which Meredith over at Count it all Joy featured on her blog. If I can make it, anyone can make it. And now Harry wants me to make it for his Birthday later on in the year. I think it's going to become a family favourite!!

I hope my kitchen will be done in time to make this for my daughter's birthday in August! I have seen it here and there but confess to never having the courage to actually bake it....but it does look like a happy rainbow!
Happy Christening and Happy First Birthday to Max.

Anna your cake looks amazing, think I will have to definetly try this one. Have a great week Sandy
Awesome cake! I made one for my sons bday earlier this month, but it was nowhere near as good as yours. I think I might have another crack at it for my daughters bday later in the year x
Wow what a creation!! That's soo cool!! I can imagine Heston Bloomingwhatsy making something like that...
It looks great, well done!

The best thing is that you don't know anything about the lovely surprise in it until you cut into it! I love that! A-M xx
I wanted to make a cake like this last year for my sons birthday,will make one this year.
You know what I would be scared of? How to store it and get it out ready for the party. . .
Wow! That's impressive...love the colours, a feast for the eyeballs!
Gosh! What a colourful cake and did you flavour the different layers at all: chocolate, orange, citrus spring to mind...
I've always been a fan of Meredith's cake, and even more so now that you've presented it so magnificently.
Brilliant cake Anna! Definitely one I'm going to try. I love that the rainbow centre would be an unexpected surprise (at least until the first piece is cut!).
Fabulous cake-- never seen one like it. I especially love your flower plates!
Lynn
What an incredibly fun looking cake!

This cake looks amazing... and bright. Will definately give this one a go. I absolutely love your flower serving plates. May I ask where you bought them from or any suggestions on where I may score a set for myself? I live in Melbourne.
