Tie-Dye Cake

 After the stress and potential disaster that could have been my last cake, i decided to seek some professional help in the form of a wilton cake decorating course offered at michael's arts and crafts.
      The class was a lot of fun and taught me some of the essentials of piping, tools, concept and preparation.  this cake was one that they had us make to practice smoothing buttercream icing, when done correctly buttercream can look just as good as fondant, and has a much better taste and consistency.  I'd planned for the outside to be smooth and white so i wanted the inside to be a little different.



 to create the tie-dye effect of the cakes interior, i separated the batter into 5 different bowls and colored each of the batters a different shade. then I poured them directly into the nine inch round, one on top of the other. the effect is fun and makes for some awesome kids cakes.
