The return of the rainbow cake

Prepare to be amazed… and to rethink the ‘rainbow cake’.

Babyologists delighted in magnificent rainbow cakes we showed last year (a bright, layered cake of many shades plus rainbow pancakes). Yes, they were certainly beautiful but I think this version might snatch the ‘Rainbow Cake’ crown.

The Leprechaun Trap Cake, created by Megan of Not Martha, looks like an innocent, if exceptionally bright, green-iced cake. But there are secrets. There are golden coins, a rainbow and a leprechaun trap.

All the details for making this extraordinary cake can be found at Not Martha. The method is thorough and accompanied by lots of very helpful photographs. Megan has also gone the extra distance and experimented with different types of cake pans. The results are wild. Who’s game to try it?
