First Attempt: Rainbow Cake

I guess in the scheme of things, I don't make all that many layer cakes. But I followed a link that followed a link that followed some other link and I got very, very intrigued with the Whisk Kid's approach to making this very colorful rainbow cake. Not only do I not make all that many layer cakes, I've also done very little with food coloring, with the exception of a few attempts at red velvet cakes (and one red velvet cheesecake). I got a hankering to rise to the challenge.

It's a pretty moist and tasty cake, and I chose to go with a lemon flavored Swiss buttercream frosting on it.

I didn't get the colors exactly right for what the instructions called for, but at least I was finally able to use my special order of unicorn tears.
