There are lots of different recipes online for rainbow cakes. Have you seen those ones that are 8 layers tall? They are amazing! (I have actually made that 8 layer cake before, they are easy just time consuming). My youngest just turned 4 this past week and she wanted a rainbow cake. I wanted to do something faster and simpler this time around, so this is what I came up with:

So cute, right? All I did was put Skittles on the cake for the rainbow, then mini marshmallows at the bottoms of the rainbow! So simple. I tinted the frosting a light blue to resemble the sky (using homemade frosting, of course). I used a rainbow chip cake mix for the cake itself. My daughter LOVED it! This type of cake would be perfect for even a summer BBQ or with your family for a summer dessert. I hope you like it as much as we did!


Here is my favorite recipe for homemade frosting:

1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
4-1/2 cups powdered sugar
1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
5 Tbl milk

In a large bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy with a hand mixer. Then beat in the powdered sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve desired consistency.

I have been wanting to make a bandana tablecloth, and I finally did! It was so easy that I wanted to share with you how I did it. I chose to make one for the 4th of July, and I LOVE IT! It turned out just like I wanted.

You will need:

bandanas in the color of your choice, I needed 12 (I got them at Walmart for $1 each)
sewing machine
iron

Wash, dry, and iron your bandanas. Then lay them out on the floor how you want the finished product to look.

After you are finished with that, take them 3 at a time and sew them in order of how you placed them. Make sure you are sewing wrong sides together so they will all be uniform. I used a 1/4 inch seam allowance.

I sewed 3 bottom together, the next 3 together, then I did the two top rows of three. Then my last row of sewing was the middle when I sewing the two sections of six together. Make sense?

I have a picnic table in the backyard I was making this for, so I knew that I needed 12 bandanas. You can make yours as small or any size you wish! The possibilities are endless. Here is what mine looked like when I finished. I’m excited to use it soon!

NOTE: You can purchases bandanas at the dollar store for 2/$1, but they are very thin and not as good of quality. I recommend purchasing them for at least $1 each so the table cloth will be more durable.
