Decorating By amcakemaker2011 Updated 10 Apr 2011 , 2:34am by amcakemaker2011
Hi
I just signed up to this website. I am making a 2 tier birthday cake for a little girl turning 2 yrs old on July 16 2011. Her mom wants her cake to be a pink layer 2 tier cake. I was wanting to know if anyone has ever dyed the cake batter to make it different colors. The shades are pink colors. Please let me know thanks

The "white" cakes are easier to dye than the yellow if you want brighter colors.
Sure, it can be done, just add food coloring to your batter.
Check out this link for rainbow cakes: http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&meta=search&type=full&search=Rainbow+Cake&album=-&search_user=
Thank you so much girls!!!
Lisa the link you wanted me to look at is the link i already have lol thanks though really appreciate it.
The cake is for a friend of mine and with me just starting out i needed to make sure you can actually dye the batter because i have never tried dying the batter before..
Anyone more tips on doing this process would be much appreciated

Like the PP stated, it is easier to tint a white cake batter. Good luck
thank you so much! I am really curious on how it will look.
Here is a pic of some rainbow cupcakes I made. I used a WASC recipe, which is a white cake, like others have stated. And I used gel colors, not much too get a very vibrant color!

to get the multi-color cake, just divide up your batter into separate bowls and color each one whatever colors you choose. Then just dump the different colors on top of each other, they will spread themselves out! Hope that helps! I think pink shades will be very pretty
Coloring the batter is lots of fun. Here is the inside of an Easter Egg cake we did a few years ago.... http://s314.photobucket.com/albums/ll426/ShelbyLynnCakes/?action=view¤t=5.jpg
We just divided the batter into separate bowls and added the food colorings, then we spooned it into the pan and got these results. We also did it in red, white and blue for a 4th of July cake, but we didn't get pictures of that one. And, we did a neon green colored cake for a toxic waste cake we did. That was a very bright color. It was funny too, I took the scrapes from leveling the cake and threw them outside for the squirels. I saw one squirrel at it taking a rather large piece. I watched him as he ran up the tree with it, the cake color really stood out. Then I got a good laugh when he got up the tree and I realized I could see squirrels all over the trees with the bright neon green pieces of cake.
For your cake, you could do white, pale pink and a bolder pink. Or if she wanted to add it in, a violet color.
I've used packets of Kool-Aid to color white cake batter before. Blue, for a red, white, and blue Independence Day cake. Everyone loved the blue over the red velvet and whiteit gave it a citrus flavor.
You could experiment using pink lemonade-flavored Kool-Aid... although this probably isn't a good option for your client without tasting first. I know I'd like it!
I just did cupcakes for my daughter's birthday in January. They are in my photos. It was alot of fun to do!

Thank you! It is for a little girl that is turning 2yrs old. Her colors are going to be pink and purple cake.. Don't you have to bake the colors separate from each other?

Nope Just plop the different colors right on top of each other in the middle of the pan. They spread each other out. And they won't mix together or at least not much

She actually wants pink and purple colors for her daughters 2nd birthday
