This cake turned out even better than I could have hoped for! This was the first time I had ever made a layer cake AND the Swiss meringue buttercream frosting to go with it. I had read about a rainbow layer cake that looked just amazing and decided to adapt it for Christmas! I used gel food coloring to get the bold colors for each layer which was also a first. To add a little bit of extra Christmas magic, we told Christian and Caiden that it was a plain white cake, but that if magic Christmas sprinkles were added, the cake would transform into a Christmas cake! It was fun to see their reactions when we cut into the first slice. :) And the buttercream was very yummy too - it tasted just like the frosting you would get on a bakery cake! I probably won't attempt a cake like this again for awhile, but it was well worth the effort. And I am looking forward to using this frosting again for future cake and cupcake recipes!
