Tie Dye Cake

​How do you dress up a plain white cake to make an extra-ordinary birthday cake?  Tie Dye it.
​I've played around with a couple of different variations of colored white cakes in the past.  Remember the polka dot cake and the rainbow cake?

This version features a slightly different take on the white cake as well.  Instead of just adding different colored batters to the pan and swirling with a toothpick, I decided to pipe the tie dye colors into a cake pan to create a more unique tie dye effect.  (I think it turned out pretty great.)

I had planned to make this cake as a birthday cake for a friend of Courtney.  As luck would have it, both girls were at my house as the baking was about to begin so they got to participate in making the tie dye birthday cake.  (Kind of felt like I was cheating on baking a cake FOR her but the birthday girl was super excited about getting in on the process.)

This tie dye caked ended up being the top to a larger cake.  The big cake had hidden tie dye stars inside the cake!  It was really cool.  Here's a little sneak peak but you can get all of the instructions for the tie dye star cake on tomorrow's blog.  You don't want to miss it. 

Ciao!
