Hey all!
I don't know if you remember my post about a tye dye cake earlier, but this tye dye cake is for real. I made it for our school's annual cake auction. The auction itself was pretty fun. I was the tech. person and worked the slideshow of cakes up front as they came down with the real cakes. I can't remember how much we raised but it was a lot! I was shocked! Who knew?!
I decided to make a tye dye cake. I've seen pictures of it, and thought I would give it a try. It was actually really simple. I also did tye dye cake pops, and those added quite a bit of time. Unfortunately by the time my cake was auctioned off, the frosting had completely melted and the balls had all slid off. I completely forgot about the heat factor here in Cambodia! It still sold for $50, which sounds like a lot, but really it was on the lower end. One cake went for $400, several around $300-350, and quite a few around $80-150.
These are the lovely cake balls.
TYE DYE CAKE RECIPE
Ingredients:
1 box white cake mix
6 different food colors
Directions:
Prepare the cake as shown on the box. Split the batter evenly into 6 small bowls. Add food coloring to the batter. Keep adding color until it is as bright as you want it. Place 2 sprayed 8" circle cake pans on a level surface. Take the first color and pour about 3/4 of the batter into the pan. Repeat with the 5 other colors, just using less and less of the batter, so layers are created. Next, take the second circle pan and do the same thing, but reverse the colors. Bake the cakes according to the directions on the box.

For the frosting, I just used homemade frosting, but you could do whatever.
