Once you go gel, you never go back.

AnEmily – Do you have a favorite brand? I usually use AmeriColor but this time I used Spectrum and found the colors sort of off. The yellow was tinged neon green and the red didn’t seem potent enough.

Rainbow cake?

Yup, but there is more to it, all will be revealed. If it turns out in time. Which is looking doubtful at this point, to be honest :)

I’m excited to see it! I did a double rainbow for my daughter’s 2nd birthday. It came out great except I put it together upside down…

I usually use the Wilton gel food coloring, which I have used for everything from food to yarn dying. It works great!
