Throwing a big birthday bash for my baby... Time flies and he is 1 year old!!!!!. Decided to bake a two tier rainbow cake. Initially wanted 3 tier but afraid of left over, decided to have two tier with the last tier made for decoration.
Decided on the design and cake flavor, time to find recipe. As its an important day for my baby, I gonna to do a bake trial on recipe found.
Rainbow cake uses white cakes. Found a recipe and tried to bake a small one and ask my mum to taste. She give honest option on all my bakes.
The recipe didn't pass through the test. Abit on dry side. Taste not fluffy enough. Not sure if I under bake or what.
In the end I used a Butter cake recipe and added 6 colors to bake the rainbow cake.
Mrs SK Ng Butter cake recipe
( adopted and modify from Table for two or more by Wendy)
230gm butter (salted), softened (cool at 18-20C, not glossy)
200gm eggs, no shell (4 grade B eggs)
50gm + 150gm sugar
200gm self raising flour, sifted.
60ml milk
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
1. Preheat oven at 180C (conventional). (I only use 170C). Prepare a 9 inch round pan. Line the base and grease the sides (greasing helps the cake’s sides to rise well)
2. Separate the eggs, and place the whites into a medium sized bowl (6 cup capacity)Beat egg whites until soft peaks, gradually add 50gm sugar and beat until stiff. Set aside.
3. Cream butter and 150gm sugar until pale and fluffy (KA speed 2-4 ). Put in vanilla seeds and and beat for a while. Put in egg yolks one by one and beat well after each addition.
4. Put in half the flour and mix on low speed until incorporated. Put in milk in 2 additions and mix until well incorporated. Mix in balance of flour.
5. Put half the egg whites in and mix on low speed. Pour the balance of egg whites in and FOLD.
6. Divide rve batter into 6 equal portion and color it. Pour batter into pan and level.
7. Bake for 10-15minutes or until skewer comes out clean.

8. Cool and decorate
I bake it altogether 12 times as my oven can't accommodate 2 9" pan and the 7" pan I only have one.
I uses some blueberry jam in between the layers to add taste to the else boring cake with only butter cream.
The last tier, Mickey head; uses rice Krispy to make and covered by black fondant.
200g marshmallow (plain)
50g oil
300-350g of rice Krispy
Heat the oil over double boil and pour in the marshmallow. Melt it till its smooth and add rice Krispy in. Stir and slightly cool, mould it.
End product:
Inside of the cake: 
Verdict: the cake is soft and fluffy and the homemade butter cream is sooo tasty.. Very well received by my guest that day.
Think I will bake this tier cake again to perfect my skill in applying the buttercream and building the tier.
The next tier cake I am gonna to try bake using solely sponge cake recipe to see if it will create a softer and more fluffy taste. Also to try if sponge cake can be tiered although no one uses sponge cake to build tier cake. I wan to challenge and see if its possible. Heehee adventurous me.
Stay tune for my next adventure.
Happy birthday to my precious little one.
