Today I’m showing you how to make an epic rainbow cake! Not only is this a rainbow doll cake based off of one of my favourite childhood toys (My Little Pony), but it’s a cake completely covered in a rainbow coating of candies! The inside is a surprise inside of rainbows too! If that isn’t enough rainbows, there is also a beautiful fondant rainbow arch to complete the cake.

Ingredients:
1 cup red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple candies of all shapes, sizes and separated by colour
5 cups prepared vanilla cake batter coloured red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple
1 cup prepared vanilla cake batter (no colour)
Sky blue buttercream
Rainbow Dash Equestria Girls Doll
Doll Cake Pan mold
Fondant- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple
Marshmallows
Melted white chocolate
Procedure:
1. A day or two ahead, prepare fondant rainbow. Using a fondant extruder, create a long “rope”, with the yellow fondant. Using a 6″ diameter bowl/mold wrap the yellow rope around the top of the mold. Use the extruder to make an orange rope, and press the orange rope above the yellow rope, and use water to adhere the two fondant ropes. Repeat making fondant ropes with the extruder in the other colours and use water to adhere them in place.
2. Once rainbow is built, trim ends to equal lengths, and place toothpicks in the purple and blue ends to press into the cake later. Allow rainbow to harden overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 350F/180C and prepare cake pan with non-stick spray and parchment strips.
4. Pour red cake batter into the pan. Put one scoop of plain vanilla cake batter on top of the red batter.
5. Pour orange cake batter into the pan, on top of the white and red batters. Put one scoop of plain vanilla cake batter on top of the red. Repeat procedure with all colours of batter.
6. Place pan into preheated oven, and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean. Place on cooling rack to cool.
7. Once cake has cooled, level bottom if necessary, and place on top of a cake board, securing cake to board with a swipe of buttercream.
8. Wrap doll hair and legs in plastic wrap. Remove shoes if necessary. Insert doll into the top of the cake, pressing doll in as far as it can go.
9. Spread buttercream in small sections at a time. Working from the bottom up to the top, place 2-3 rows of purple candies at the bottom of the dress. Ensure candies are tightly placed together and there are no gaps.
10. Once the purple layers are complete, apply additional buttercream higher up the cake, and press candies into 2-3 rows of blue. Repeat candy application to the top of the dress, where it meets the doll, with green, yellow, orange and lastly, red. Place a few extra red candies around her waist for a smooth transition of cake to doll.
11. Carefully press hardened rainbow into the cake, behind the doll.
12. Use mini marshmallows and melted white chocolate to create clouds, and fill gaps at the bottom of the rainbow.
13. Serve cake when desired. The cake is best consumed within 2-3 days, and can be stored in the fridge in a sealed container.
