What I did Instead of the Gym

Some how my friend Gabe always has something to do with me not going to the gym, positive? Negative? who cares! This week was a good week for avoiding the gym because it rained like a motha and all I wanted to do was cuddle under a billion blankets and watch Law and Order SVU (nightmaretown here I come!)
SO, It's Ga(y)be's birthday today so what did I decide to do? Make a rainbow cake DUH. Nothing like a flaming rainbow cake to say "ANOTHER YEAR AND YOU'RE STILL QUEER!!"

And because I'm a really good friend/want a lot of compliments I made it from scratch (including the frosting which, like, not even your mom does that.)
PROOF:
Look at all those ingredients, mixing together to make a cake full of LOVE.
WHO KNEW that red velvet cake is regular cake with a dash (2 tablespoons) of coco powder and 2 tablespoons of red food coloring? I didn't. I was always so impressed when people made things other than chocolate or vanilla but I take back all my admiration for them because it's actually really easy: Recipe here
Also I lied about the frosting it's not from scratch sorry I'm not sorry.
Look at how BORING that cake batter looks, not flamboyant at all HOW can I make it more gay as a tank top?
DYE THE SHIT out of it and strategically rainbow layer it, THAT'S HOW. Baking it was kind of a pain in the booty but I had three circular pans that I rotated through the oven. Once they all cooled I stacked them with icing. YUMMY YUM FRIENDSHIP.

Slather that baby with frosting and you get this...
ooo, aaa, rustic (that's my word for kind of shitty looking)..I ran out of frosting so the coverage wasn't perfect, thought that counts? no? whateva yo I don't see anyone else around here making a rainbow cake.
And so the reveal, Cutting into it is the best part because A. everyone's really impressed and thinks I'm cool. B. it means it's time to eat it. And C is for Cake.Just look at that thing, I mean, have you ever? We had extra cake which meant we gave it out to the tables around us...a guy asked for my card like I'm a profesh baker which I pretended to be. Annamakesrainbowcakes@jealous?.com
All in all it was a lovely night of beer drinking and socializing at Loreley Restaurant and Bier Garden. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GABE!Balloon made my Kara Kelly, Banner made by my printer at work.
