Looks like fun for a birthday
Pour a can of soda (16 oz) 2-16 oz cans of soda into the cake mix two boxes of cake mix. No eggs, no oil, no water, no sweat.
I'm going to round to 30 oz 60 oz because I have six colours and isn't that just too convenient? It worked out to 3/4 c 1.5 c per colour, measurementwise. So I divvied that up and used my gel colours.
(the gel colours, while not as good as pigment dye, are much bolder than the very liquidy food colouring you probably grew up with)
The first colour you drop into the pan, use about 2/3 of the mix for that colour. Otherwise, the top (last) colour will really dominate. I used a heaping 1/4 c 1 cup of each colour.
Drop the colours, one by one, into the middle of the pan, in neat concentric-ish gobs. Remember the cake is going to be sliced in the side there, so mixing it around on top isn't going to make your slices any more psychedelic (trust me, I did the three-dimensional thinking for you already).
When you're three colours in, start doing the reverse with the other pan. Since I'm going in rainbow order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, I got from red to yellow in the first pan, then purple, blue, green in the second. This is so that your two pans are equal if your measurements aren't exact (and they're not likely to be).
Follow the box's baking instructions and do your dishes.
Such lovely dishes!
Now for the frosting: 1 box 2 boxes of fat free sugar free pudding mix, and 8 oz 16 oz (two of the 8 oz tubs pictured) of fat-free whipped topping. Or sugar-free. Or light. Or regular. They're all pretty much the same. But that's it.
The frosting will be a little tough to spread, so treat it like a buttercream (I guess, I've never frosted a cake with buttercream). Putting gobs all over, then smoothing in worked well for me.
