Rainbow Tie Dyed Heart Surprise Cake

rainbow tie-dyed surprise cake

 

Rainbow tie-dyed heart surprise cake. A beautiful bright cake with a colourful surprise inside. You can swap the heart for any shape that you have a cutter for. Or you could make your own cutter using the instructions in the twitter dessert video. Right after I finished making this cake I cut my finger. I was using scissors to cut a plastic packaging strap, it came off all of a sudden, the scissors continued on their speedy journey and went through the very tip of my finger. Several hours later I was at the hospital because it was still bleeding, despite using pressure, elevation and all the normal things. Unable to stitch it the doctor predicted four weeks for it to heal over.  So if you see me sporting a bandage in next weeks video you’ll know why. Oh and don’t try and push scissors through thick plastic strapping.

 

 

To make the rainbow tie-dyed surprise heart cake you will need:

Coloured Hearts
Makes enough hearts for two cakes 22cm (8.66 inches) long each
heart or other shape cutter, mine was 7.5cm (2.95 inches) across and 7cm (2.76 inches) tall
3 packets vanilla cake mix
5 gel colours or you can use neon colours if you prefer

White Cake
2 packets vanilla cake mix

To Decorate
500g (17.64 ounces) White fondant
Frosting (I used the frosting that was in the boxes of cake mix)
colours as used for making the cake

This cake was requested by subscribers after seeing a similar styled cake on tablespoon.com which was designed by Hungry Happenings and inspired by HandmadeCharlotte.com. Concept used with permission from all three websites.

  10. Hey Ann! I voted and I hope you win the streamys! I am absolutely in love with this cake I’m planning to make it for my friends birthday, but I was wondering if you could come up with a zombie themed cake. All the others zombie cakes I’ve found are extremely complicated. Thanks 🙂

  15. Hi Ann,

    Your video and cake turned out great. Thanks so much for creating this and for sharing it along with mention of your inspiration with all of your subscribers.

    I like how you baked the small amount of cake a bit before adding the hearts. That’s a really great tip:)

    • Hi Beth, Thanks for letting me do the cake, you have an awesome blog over at hungry happenings, lots of great ideas 😀

  16. Hi Ann
    Thank you so much for yet another beautiful creation! I live in South Africa and am an avid baker!! Would you maybe consider coming here, going in a safari or touring the beautiful cities. I am a huge fan and your videos make my Friday!!
    Thanks again

  17. Thank you for doing something soo effective but soo simple. I do hope you hand/finger gets better. I was wondering if you could do a cherry cake since the cherry fest is coming up next weekend. Thanks for all your tutorials. If possible could you show us how to carve the cake into a cherry thanks again and could you show how to make a cherry chip cake using a vanilla cake mix thanks again ( sorry I say thanks a lot )

    • I hope you know I am one of your biggest fans I remeber when I started getting into baking I was looking around for easy baking tutorials ( this happened a couple years ago ) and now I have to wait a whole week to see on an amazing video. I’m sorry I can’t subscribe because I don’t have an account on YouTube. I know I mentioned this on another comment but maybe could you do fondant give aways world wide because I can’t purchase fondant and I don’t have that much money since I am younger than 13
