Apr 6 2009Taste The Rainbow With A Rainbow Cake!

Want to make a rainbow cake to celebrate Easter or being gay? Do it up -- but I get to lick the spatula when you're finished. And by "the" I mean "your". Just sayin', I'm cool pitching for both teams. And when I say "pitching", I obviously mean "catching". I talk in code! Now, throw me a fastball, champ, I'm late for work.
Hit the jump for several more of the awesomeness and a link to the recipe.




how to make a rainbow cake! [omnomicon]
Thanks to Candi and towhee, whose rainbows really do lead to a pot of gold. I don't even know what that means, but call me a leprechaun!

10. you know who - April 6, 2009 12:55 PM
i would totally eat ty dye cake, looks good, i just wouldnt it eat it made by the fruit cake that made it. I would make my own and eat it, its a well known fact that hippies dont wash, thats it they dont wash anything, hands, clothes, feet, utinsiles etc... their hippi cars, the only they do wash is their bong pipes because its ok to use water for that but wash clothes or their asses nope.

EAT THE RAINBOW.
POOP THE RAINBOW.
14. SmokingGirl - April 6, 2009 1:06 PM
That cake looks absolutely disgusting; I mean, just awful.
Infact, I would go so far as to say that this cake looks worse than the armadillo cake in "Steel Magnolias".
15. Milkman - April 6, 2009 1:08 PM
I understand posting cakes resembling bodies, LOTR castles, dragons etc as all geek related but what does a rainbow cake have to do with the site?
16. Timbo - April 6, 2009 1:18 PM

19. the Commish - April 6, 2009 3:08 PM
FAIL!! This post fails on so many levels. Who the hell cares!?
This is just like that time Mario needed to find a present for Yoshi's birthday with only hours until he had to be at his tree for the bash. There weren't any berries around because it was still kinda cold at night so he had to improvise. He stopped by the local 7-11 and grabbed a bunch of twinkies and smashed them together into a cake for his dinosaur friend. By this time it was getting very late and Mario had to make sure his go-kart was tricked out for a 150cc speed race to Yoshi's place. He packed up the twinkie cake and hauled ass as fast as he could but ran into a road block. Mario took a shortcut that led across rainbow road. When he presented the cake to Yoshi, he was amazed to see that it had absorbed the super spiffy magical coloring of the rainbow road!
Yoshi ate the entire cake with one ginormous tongue sling. Mario didn't notify Yoshi that it was made entirely of twinkies from 7-11 and Yoshi had the runs for a week.

That would have been awesome if you posted it 3 months ago, when everybody else on the internet did.
27. Too Pathetic For Words - April 6, 2009 5:23 PM
Can't get much lower than a spatula-licking Geekologie fag. Pathetic is too nice a word for it.

This reminds of some lame assed "technicolor" something or other assembly from elementary school, and willy wonka (the gay-er version) hunting for cabana boys to supliment his oompa loompas.

34. tokyorose - April 7, 2009 1:54 AM
I actually made this very cake for a party last week... it turned out pretty well, for a diet cake, taste-wise. The colors were pretty awesome, it was a hit at the party. Love the blog, btw.
35. sell wow gold - April 7, 2009 3:44 AM
This looks cute and perfect for a children's party. I hope it turns out well when I try to make one.
36. Daisy - April 7, 2009 6:57 AM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max caught a leprechaun and tried to get him to give up his pot of gold, but the leprechaun tricked Max and kept his gold.
37. catch22 - April 7, 2009 9:06 AM
@28 a geek blog featuring a cake that is only unique (term used loosely) due to seperating batter and adding food coloring has no real place on this site
geeky cakes shaped like a motherboard or something are welcome in my eyes but poorly made cakes and non relevant cakes jsut have no place here...
there is nothing exceptional here
38. Shwinkies - April 7, 2009 6:23 PM
Re: koOPa.
I'm a Hippy. Hippies are cool, I shower daily, and I happen to smoke weed. Now, I can sit back, relax, and watch a large number of posts about how that guy (me) was talking about weed.
That cake looks awesome, and I'm not even one of those colorful hippies.

52. veronica - May 29, 2009 10:07 AM
HAS EVERYONE FORGOTTEN THE REAL MEANING OF THE RAINBOW?
ITS NOT ABOUT GAYS! ( NO IM NOT GAY I HAVE A HUSBAND AND 7 CHILDREN.) THE MEANING OF THE RAINBOW IS SO THAT WHEN IT APPEARS IT REMINDS GOD OF HIS PROMISE TO NEVER FLOOD THE EARTH AGAIN. ALL CHILDREN LIKE BRIGHT COLORS SO ARE YOU PEOPLE CALLING BABIES AND TODDLERS GAY? THANK YOU FOR POSTING THE PICS MY 11 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WANTS A UNIQUE CAKE FOR HER BIRTHDAY AND SHE PICKED THIS ONE WITH PEACE SIGNS!!!!! SHE IS NOT GAY NOR IS SHE A HIPPIE. SHES A KID THAT WANTS TO STAND OUT. YOU PEOPLE NEED TO STOP STEREOTYPING OTHERS BECAUSE IM SURE IF YOU TAKE A LONG HARD LOOK AT YOURSELVES YOU WILL SEE THAT YOU ARE NOT PERFECT EITHER!!!
53. deleted - June 24, 2009 9:17 PM
@ 52
What? Rainbows have nothing to do with "god". It's prismatic water droplets juxtaposed with sunlight. People just think it's pretty (yes - gays, hippies, yuppies, children, and geeks alike!). There's no made up mythical meaning to it. Damn thumpers always ruining educated common sense! Quit having babies and go back to school! No, I'm not perfect (who here said they were?), but I do have brains enough to understand basic science.

P.S.: Lay off the capslock and exclamation points. It makes you look like an uptight angry dipshit shouting at the universe for not being your ideal.

55. jaylene - December 25, 2009 6:08 PM
I have never posted on this site but just had to post to tell you guys. I made a skull motif 4 tier wedding cake this past weekend. I made it with the rainbow cake inside. It was awesome. It was solid white with little white skulls I molded out of fondant, with piped bones on it. And when it was cut the guests saw all the colors inside the cake there were a lot of gasps. Really pretty. Im a professional cake decorator and this cake baked up perfect.

This is awesome, totally made my day. Major kudos.
