referring to a declaration I made a little over a year ago. Number 8 in fact.
I made a rainbow cake, not the style of rainbow cake I had planned to make a year or so ago but an easier one both to make and to consume. I used the butter cake recipe from *that birthday cake book*, doubled it, split it in to a number of bowls, added a liberal amount of food dye to each bowl, stirred that food dye in very well, dolloped it into a bundt pan, baked it, covered it in yummy chocolate ganache (the secret to shiny ganache is a little dollop of a plain veggie oil) and then sprinkled gold sugar over the top.
It was well, it was smile material.
In progress shot.
One of the girls at work is a day younger than me, so to celebrate our birthdays we made each other a cake. Oh it was a day of cake last Monday at work.
This is the oh so so so yummy double layer chocolate cake she made me.
mmm rainbow cake.

Happy Birthday, Helen!
I’m extremely impressed by your rainbow cake. I’m tempted to make one, but have read so many different opinions on how tasty, or not, they are.
I may look into your recipe and see how that works.
Happy Birthday again. I hope there was something Norwegian and ceramic in among your gifts!

That rainbow cake is genius Helen.
