7 1/2 cups cake batter, divided and colored as follows:
- 5 1/2 cups blue (Americolor Electric Blue)
- 1 cup black (Americolor Super Black)
- 1 cup pink (Chefmaster Rose Pink)
2 pounds 10 ounces buttercream frosting, divided and colored as follows:
- 1 pound 14 ounces pink (Chefmaster Rose Pink)
- 6 ounces black (Americolor Super Black)
- 6 ounces blue (Americolor Electric Blue)
3 cake pans, 9-inch
Spatulas
Scraper
5 piping bags, 12-inch
Spray oil
Turntable
10-inch round cake board
Scissors
Paper towel

Directions
1. Taking 7 1/2 cups cake batter (a full batch of my vanilla cake), divide into two small and one large bowl. Add gel food colors, blue to the largest bowl, and black and pink to the smaller ones.
2. Spray cake pans with nonstick spray. Apply a thin layer of blue batter to the base of each pan. Taking a piping bag with black batter, apply rings of color to the pan, four in two of the pans, and three in the last pan. Then apply a slightly thicker layer of pink rings, again using a piping bag. Top with more black. Fill in the gaps with blue batter.
3. Bake each cake at 330 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool in their pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack. Allow to cool completely.
4. Taking the buttercream, add pink, blue and black food color. This time the largest color is pink.
5. Stack the cake and apply blue buttercream to each layer. Apply a crumb coat to the sides and top of the cake, and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
6. Apply a thicker coat of pink buttercream to the cake, and scrape smooth. Taking a piping bag filled with blue buttercream, apply dollops of color in no particular pattern. Smear with a spatula, making sure you wipe the spatula clean with a paper towel after each turn. Pipe around the blue using black buttercream, again going for a random, imperfect look.
