I saw a picture of one in the galleries and I liked the idea. I have never colored the actual cake before! I did notice that each layer of the cake looked to be two seperate colors 6 in all. How would ya'll recommend doing this? Should I pour in one color batter and level it out then pour the second layer of another color batter on top of it, then bake as usual? this is the only way I can think to accomplish the effect. I was just worried the colors might bleed??? Anyone ever done anything like this?

Your idea sounds like it might work, because it's very similar to the directions for making a marble cake. I'm thinking that when you make a marble cake, you pour in one color batter, then drop the other color by the spoonful over that, and then swirl the batters together a little with a knife to get that marbled effect. Good luck icon_biggrin.gif

The way you are describing how to do it, it sounds like it will come out in layers of color rather than a tie dye effect. If I were doing it, I think I would blob different colors in the cake pan and draw a knife through them to marbelize.

How are you going to decorate it? Tie Dye also? I did a pretty cool tie dye cake once:

I color a lot of my cakes especially for kid's parties. I call a rainbow marble. You mix your batter and remove some for coloring. Pour the yellow batter in the pan. Drop dollops of the other color batter in your pan then use a knife to cut the colors into each other.

Most people refer to a marble cake as chocolate and yellow cake. However a marble cake can be any color/flavor. Marbling refers to the pattern not the flavor. Just like marble countertops.... you can have a range of colors and patterns.
