Rainbow Cake!

So we came to the end of our Home Schooling week of weather and Noah's Ark.

We were supposed to make windsocks and rainbow cake on Friday, but I was a little under the weather... no pun intended...

So Saturday, come hell or high water, again no pun intended, ( ok maybe a little pun intended) we at least got to make our rainbow cake. I still did not get to the windsocks, as it is raining cats and dogs from Tropical Storm Debbie...

Maybe we will save those for another day...

Anywho, our cake experiment was awesome! Skylar and I did the whole thing ourselves and the boys reaped the benefits.. But it was a great lesson, not only for home making skills, but for her to learn math and deal with texture ( the Aspergers in her HATES texture!) She was able to dip her hand in the Crisco and spread it on the baking pan. She measured out the ingredients and because I dont have a 1 Cup measure she had to figure out how to make 1 1/4 cup water... She had to find 6 bowls and make the rainbow colors out of food coloring, then she had to mix each bowl until they were all mixed in.

We layered all the colors in order, gave the pan a shimmy shake, then crossed our fingers and hoped it worked.

End result?

It worked amazing, so much so, that I jumped for joy at how awesome it was!!

And then everyone enjoyed the cake...

Until my hubby mentioned that our poop may be rainbow colored! LOL!!
Only in my family!!

Here are the photos we took of the progress of the cake!
