At the start of summer, I promised my kids we would do a rainbow day….full of fun crafts, cake and cousins!  Since school starts in less than one week….I had to make good on my promise. 

My sister and I started to make the rainbow cake after lunch.  The kids helped us stir the different cake colors…

While the cake was baking, I had to meet with a contractor regarding our construction.  The meeting ran a little long so my sister was left to put the cake together.  Before looking at the photo…I should share a few things about my sister. 

She is….

• fun
• funny
• an amazing decorator
• a fabulous cook
• way more organized than I will ever be
• my best friend!

and evidently….not a rainbow cake maker:)

And yes, those are her fingers actually holding the cake up so it doesn’t fall off the cake stand.   We laughed…and laughed…and laughed….and then we ate cake.

I can’t wait for next summer’s Rainbow Day!  It is definitely going to be an annual event!!!

We did do an awesome craft…Kid Friendly Marbelized Paper.  I will share how to make that in the next couple weeks!
