Hello, I am doing a cake this Saturday for a roller skating party. I made a fondant roller skate (flat) and am doing a 12inch square cake. I want to put a rainbow on the top of the cake. Anyone have any suggestions on how I should go about that? I was thinking fondant strips all accross, or should I do buttercream? I'm thinking the buttercream will be a big PITA with all the different colors. Also, I'm wondering if I should make the whole top a rainbow, or just some of the cake, the rollerskate will have to go on too. Any ideas? This is the invitation I am going off of.

How big is your skate? You could just do stripes in the center, all the way across, but narrower than the skate. So, the toe and the heel overlap the ends of the rainbow.
Whatever you decide to do, I imagine the base color of your cake should not be the same color as the skate.
The skate is white and it's about 7" long and 5" inch. The wheels are red. I had orginally planned on doing rainbow strips of fondant to cover the whole cake ( it's 12" square) and then laying the skate on that. I just worry that will be too busy looking and the skate will get lost in the rainbow.
i kind of like the rainbow-on-sides idea! with the top you could put your skate, peace signs, funky flowers, and rainbow-coloured polka-dots to fit the invitation.
then it's loud, fun, matching, and not crazy busy.
