The Making of Lexi's 3rd Birthday!

So Lexi LOVES My little Pony, especially Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. So we decided to do her a Pony Party! (She loves saying this btw lol) So I fell to good old Pinterest! Jared wanted to do a layered Rainbow Cake. Origionally, we were gonna just do the layers all in one pan, but you always get the weird dips because you eventually push your first colors out to the side, So Jared decided we are gonna make 6 thin cakes, one for each layer, and stack them together. So we baked our cakes! 6 in the rectangle pan, 6 in the
Circle.  We just used the French Vanilla Betty Crocker mix, and food coloring :)

Once we had all our cakes baked, and cooled, We started to stack them with Raspberry Jam in between each layer.    Once we had all of them stacked, Jared cut them so all the edges were even. Jared had to add a couple extra pieces to the edges so the top lay flat tho

Now it was on to the decorating!  Jared worked really hard finding the right icing, and decorating it.  
He raised a corner of the cake to give Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy a cloud to sit on.  and created a small creek down the cake that ended in  a waterfall off the side of the cake.  

Then we put these mini figures on top of the cake
Then we added some Candy rocks and flowers for the finishing touches! And now, we have our BEAUTIFUL Cake!
