Itty bitty bites: Colorful rainbow cake will blow your kids away

There's nothing like a pretty cake to make your kid smile, especially when it's made on a random day...just for kicks.

I've filed this rainbow cake under the category of "Must Try Immediately" because it's simply too cool (just like the Hello Kitty cake pops. Side note: I did make these with a twist, but it didn't go as planned. Attempt number two will be documented.)

Now, it would be fun to surprise your kids with this cake. But it would be almost as much fun to have them help you make it. Need convincing? Look at the pretty pictures! I know, oh, I know, it has crazy amounts of food coloring. But I'm willing to run with it because of its sheer awesomeness. [via Craftzine]

(Also, since I'm clearly having an "unhealthy food" moment, look at this Root Beer Cookies. Yum!)
