Welcome to Tyna's Tie-Dye Cake Tutorial.
Enjoy!
So, I made a tie-dye cake for my friend, Lindsey's, 30th birthday.
I got the idea from Bird on a Cage. It was pretty cool, so I tried it. I will cut into it tomorrow and post an update of the inside, but here is what I have so far. *Updated with photo
I used:
Betty Crocker Super Moist Vanilla Cake x 2
Betty CrockerGel Food Coloring (Neon)
McCormick Assorted, Blue Food Coloring
CakeMate Squeeze Icing, Classic Colors Blue
Instead of oil I used Mott's applesauce. Used the called for amount 1/3 cup.
Egg Whites
Whipped Vanilla Frosting

Divide the batter into equal parts.
Add color to the batter.
Layer colors with 1/2 cup scoops one on top of the other. Repeat until gone.
(Very pleasing to the eye.)
To make a star-burst design use a toothpick and run it from the center out.
To make a flower design:
Run a toothpick from the outside toward the center. Once in the center, make a circle.
When the cake is baked, cut off the top to make it level and munch the yumminess or make cake balls.
(The rainbow mess)
Ice it all over. A crumb layer isn't necessary.
I forgot to take a photo but on the top of the icing, but I made rings of each gel food coloring (lighest to darkest). I tried to do the same on the sides, but it came out clumpy, but the final product was still a success.
I used a new paintbrush and made swipes from the center to the edge and then edge to the center, alternating between the two so it would look different.
(Note: make sure to wipe the brush after each swipe.
Once I was done, I used the bottom edge of the gel coloring and made a spiral, starting from the center and working my way out.)

Then, I created a star-burst using the bottom edge of the gel.
I did the same thing on the sides.
And this is the final product.
