Rainbow Cake

A friend on our BBM stated : " If I didn't know better I would say this is art on Canvas "

How happy that makes us only we know !!
Its been a design we've been wanting to do since someone posted a Rainbow Cupcake on our wall and well one day when we saw it at the amazinng Izzy's Cakes we decided , let's do it.

Its fairly easy so if any of you out there want to do it , here's how :

Start with a plain vanilla cake recipe that you like. Now this you can do 2 ways :
1. Make all 7 cakes together which means you've to have a commercial oven and 7 molds of the same size.
2. Make each one individually and repeat the process 7 times.

Once you've decided the method here goes :
1. Colour the cakes the various rainbow colours. Remember VIBGYOR ( Violent, Indigo , Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red - Embarrassing to say but we missed one !!! Can you guess which one ? )
2. Bake them one by one or all together but make sure the colours are deep enough so that they show nicely.
3. Stack them one on top of the other as given below with your choice of icing in between ( Whipped Cream or Butter Cream). The cream in between will make them stick to each other.

We missed one colour !! Guess which one??

4. Put an outside layer of icing , again the same as what you filled inside and decorate it with sprinkles.

Voila!! Cake with Sprinkles

The inside of the cake

If you are the adventurous types you can also experiment with flavours. But make sure they all compliment each other so it could be Vanilla- Lemon Alternate or Vanilla- Butterscotch. You could also have different flavours in each cake but then those would have to be eaten seperately ( And might not be that great an idea:)) 

Do let us know how it went and if you need any help , feel free to message us:)

The So Called "Silent" Partner in FLOC

Most of you know that we are more than 1 person running this company , but most of you don't know the other person as well so I thought I'll introduce her and give you an insight - She's Akriti Malhotra , the Younger Partner in the company (Do notice how I don't say Junior Partner , but younger as she's the younger sibling :) )

She's the creative , the stubborn and the perfectionist and in my words "the psycho :P" partner. She's the one whose pushy , has never had formal training but has learnt on the job and soon will be way way ahead of me. An ex finance student who quit her job at Ersnt & Young to give her GMAT and in between realised how much she loves food thus leaving all , has now decided to pursue her dream job- That of a Culinary Artist. She's a genius with food and can create something out of barely nothing. She's our "Midnight Snack Person" .

Saying that, in case you do end up calling her up for a cake , she might just give it to you for free (Bad, Bad for business). She hates talking money or business and cannot do marketing and that's why you rarely hear of her. But she IS the Upper Half of the Backbone of our Company. Her Belief - The Creative One doesn't have to market the products. Thus if you are looking for a free cake , contact her :P ( 90 percent of the times , the phone will get handed to me but in case you are lucky , haha). This Ladies and Gentleman , is AKRITI MALHOTRA
