Rainbow Cake

I've seen these wonderful (real) cakes on Martha Stewart and on Flickr. If they can bake it, I can make it! : ) I was pretty giddy about my idea. I popped out of bed on early Saturday morning and got straight to work. Each slice is an extremely large/tall piece of cake. But they are so much fun! They are available in my shop.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

April 15, 2009 by vanjeffery

I don’t normally make birthday cakes for myself.  It always seemed kind of silly really.  But this year, the kids are on school holidays, and well, we needed an activity.
Someone posted a link to a Omnomicon on one of the forums I’m on, about how to make a Rainbow Cake.  LOVE the look of this cake. I’m not normally into such bright colours, but this is just too cool.
So I bought some cake mix and pulled out the gel dyes.
A good blogger would have taken more pictures, but oh well.
These are how the cakes looked while cooling.  I was a bit distraught at the browning of the violet colour, but it was still workable. And no, mine are the full fat, full calorie version.

JILBAB

The term jilbāb or jilbaab (Arabic: جلباب‎) refers to any long and loose-fit coat or garment worn by some Muslim women. They believe that this definition of jilbab fulfills the Quranic demand for a Hijab. Jilbab or Jilaabah is also known as Jubbah or Manteau (which is the French word for coat or mantle).
The modern jilbāb covers the entire body, except for hands, face, and head. The head and neck are then covered by a scarf or wrap (khimar). Some women will also cover the hands and face (niqab).
In the country Indonesia, the word jilbab is used for a headscarf rather than a long baggy overgarment (Geertz). In recent years, a short visor is often included to protect the face from the tropical sun.
