Rainbow Cake Birthday Party (7years 5years) 🎂 Nov 20th, 2021 | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

We held Kids’ Birthday Party on Nov 20th, 2021 🥳
Nov 20th 5years. Nov 29th 7 years.

Daiso party decorations were pretty gorgeous 💖
This year, I gathered rainbow unicorn decorations 🌈🦄

Rainbow Cake

I used 2 packages of this Sponge Cake Mix to make 6 layers of 18cm (7inch) Rainbow Cake:

I bought the cake liners at Daiso to save time cutting parchment paper, which is a pain in the neck 👍

To make ONE layer of 18cm (7inch) sponge cake, you mix the below ingredients with an electric mixer for 1.5 minute. Then bake in the oven at 170C (338F) for 7 minutes.

* 66g (1/3 bag) of cake mix
* 1 egg
* 1 tsp. of water + food coloring
When you make the blue layer, please remove the egg yolk, or the cake will become green obviously 😅

Simply put the whipped cream between the layers. White cream let the colors stand out 🌈 Enjoy!!!
