#1 Anyone who gets this cake for their birthday can call themselves lucky. This dream cake isn’t just colored and delicious, but it also hides a fantastic surprise inside when cut - just wait! What looks like a masterpiece of the bakery arts is extremely easy to make at home.
#2 Start with a cake mix of your choice as a base, such as lemon cake for example. Mix the ingredients with various food colorings in different bowls. Once you have mixed each “color mass,” fill each into a pastry bag and squeeze the colored goo all over a cookie sheet covered with some parchment or wax paper. After distributed, stick the sheet into the oven and bake until finished

#3 Once the cake is baked and left to cool a bit, cut off the darkened top surface. Next, using a cookie cutter of your choice (heart-shaped here), cut as many shapes as the length of your baking sheet while remembering to remove the darkened underside of each shape.
#4 Now, cover a large bread pan with aluminum foil and pour some of the extra uncolored cake mix into the bottom. Let this bake for 10 minutes, the goal being to be able to place our shapes in the center of the cake. You can now place the said shapes in the center, holding them up with more mix.

#5 Now you can fill up the bread pan with the rest of your cake mix and put it in the oven. Once baked, cover it with frosting and place it in the fridge.

#6 Now the really fun part! Make snakes with some colored fondant icing and twist them together. Then roll them into a ball and back out again into a sheet. That gives you the colorful coat for your cake.

#7 Cover the cake with your rainbow frosting and cut off the excess frosting from the corners. And there you have it! When cutting the cake into pieces, you’ll have a beautiful rainbow heart inside. A really brilliant trick!
