Working Method

Prepare white cake mix according to manufacturer’s instructions. Deposit 1 lb. 8 oz. prepared batter into sprayed and papered 8-inch cake pans.  Bake at 350°F until cake springs back lightly when touched.  Let cool completely.  Place one cake round on a cake board, and fill with buttercream.   Place the other round on top and crumb coat with buttercream.  Place buttercream in 3 bowls, color one orange, using a drop or two of brown to mute the color.  Repeat with the pink and purple, also muting slightly with brown.  Place each colored buttercream in a pastry bag using different size and style star tips; also make a white buttercream bag.  Smooth ice with white buttercream.  Pipe a very small amount of each color around the sides and top of the cake and smooth ice again to swirl the colors.  Trace a quarter moon on the top of the cake at the edge and fill in with different sizes and colors of rosettes.
