Rainbow Cake Deluxe

January 29th, 2009 by Alex

The awesomely named Omnomicon – which gives me the mental image of Maury’s fat guest combined with the Necronomicon – has put together a colorsplosion of a cake recipe, correctly named Rainbow Cake.

This cake is not only awesome for full grown men with a sweet tooth, but Aleta (the color chef) uses lightweight ingredients and even makes her own frosting. After all, there’s no need to snap your belt while enjoying cake.

You don’t need an excuse to bake this, but getting really high before enjoying the Rainbow Cake definitely couldn’t hurt. Aleta also recommends doubling the recipe, it is accurate but the end result is a pretty small cake that could use some extra frosting.

Either way, let’s hope this tastes as delicious as it looks. More images after the jump, and thanks Aleta!

2. fnord Says: February 3rd, 2009 at 11:45 am seems like you are the one who might be “stoned” if such states of mind really affect one’s logic or intelligence (they don’t). Learn to follow a link, and then you will find the list of ingredients.

   
   

3. Jeremy Says: February 3rd, 2009 at 11:45 am I’ll save you the trouble of reading, and put the link to the recipe from within the post here for you. http://omnomicon.blogspot.com/2009/01/how-to-make-rainbow-cake.html How high are you?

   
   

4. Bobby Says: February 3rd, 2009 at 11:46 am To the previous poster, you are an idiot. The reason that they didn’t have a list of ingredients is that they linked to the page that they found the recipe in the text. Learn to read before you start insulting people.

   
   

5. Captain Obvious Says: February 3rd, 2009 at 11:47 am And yet through further reflection we remember that authors often include links for the benefit of snarky readers like you, and in so doing turn our attention to the beginning of the article, as well as the source of your embarrassment.

   
   

6. Sam Says: February 3rd, 2009 at 11:53 am Try clicking on “Rainbow Cake” up top which is nicely lit up blue. Takes you directly to the page with the ingredients and instructions.

17. that guy Says: February 3rd, 2009 at 2:38 pm Quoted from first poster: “kk, your retarded” “your retarded” “your” It is spelled YOU’RE as in YOU ARE RETARDED! If you are going to insult someone, at least do it without being a retard yourself.

22. Silvio Says: February 3rd, 2009 at 5:13 pm the cake’s a lie? well, it’s not. i am a chef, and trust me, things like this are around since, well, forever. no big deal to make the same thing with more colors. actually, the sort of cake in the image i posted above, was one of the first ones i learned. we had restaurants in germany where i grew up and worked, and this type of cake is very, very common. i don’t know about the USA, but all over europe, this kind of thing is nothing special. true, not in these colors, but the technique is the same. so. i have seen more then 1 cake with more then 2 colors. no big deal. but it’s very, very cool to look at i think. get’s a bit more tricky if you want the colors to have different tastes tho. or different textures. and to michael: :D

24. katie Says: February 3rd, 2009 at 7:32 pm I like this, however, I am little scared to use the dye. Research shows links between food dye and negative health related issues. perhaps there is an organic alternative>?

    
    

25. Zach Says: February 3rd, 2009 at 8:07 pm Everything these days is somehow related to negative health. Hell, they’ve linked water bottles with reproductive issues, artificial sugar with cancer, and aluminum with Alzheimers. Live it up a little, use food coloring.

    
    

26. Charlie Barratt Says: February 3rd, 2009 at 8:45 pm katie Says: February 3rd, 2009 at 7:32 pm I like this, however, I am little scared to use the dye. Research shows links between food dye and negative health related issues. perhaps there is an organic alternative>? This made me laugh. Your going to die one day – some food colouring will not make you die any sooner, and even if it did how much by? But thats my opion and your entitled to your own.

32. jackie Says: February 4th, 2009 at 2:44 am this entire page is amazing. the recipe and the comments. thank you, stumble upon, for directing me to this magic. i am stoned by the way.

    
    

33. Lance Says: February 4th, 2009 at 3:45 am Just try to remember the truth. Don’t try to bend the spoon for that would be impossible. Only remember the truth. There is no spoon. There is however a cake. As real as they look wonderful. I especially like the one that has the white frosting and the rainbow inside. =-] I would suggest that flaming, complaining and yelling will only detract from the beauty and creativity of this concept. Cakes which are no doubt delicious and works of art.

    
    

34. Shanti Says: February 4th, 2009 at 5:25 am i think the flaming and comments on this post were, well, the icing on the cake of a great recipe, if you’ll forgive the pun. that was AWESOME.

    
    

35. Greg Says: February 4th, 2009 at 6:15 am I call Photoshopped!! My comment doesn’t make any sense, just wanted to be the first to say it :) Looks like a fun cake to have my wife make with the grandkids. Thanks.

    
    

36. Aperture Science Says: February 4th, 2009 at 7:15 am The Cake is not a lie, what they tell you is a lie, come to aperture science we will prove to you that the cake is real!!

39. jim Says: February 4th, 2009 at 10:36 am Is this cake only for fags or can straight people eat it too?

    
    

40. Alex Says: February 4th, 2009 at 11:11 am @jim – It’s only for fags. You can make it whenever the closet door opens. /sarcasm

45. Brendan Says: February 4th, 2009 at 3:46 pm @Eric Dude flaming is what keeps the intertubes revolving, flaming will live on until the nuclear holocaust, then it shall be literal flaming, like nukes. but thats not the point.

    
    

46. Sayne Says: February 4th, 2009 at 4:59 pm Greg, the photoshopped thing was funny for like 3 days in 2007. It’s the future now, get over it. And you weren’t even the first to say it (See ‘anon’). At least dingleberry put some thought into it. Have I mentioned I want cake?

    
    

47. Dana Says: February 4th, 2009 at 5:28 pm hey michael, ITS CALLED BETTY CROCKER! how stoned were you when you read the blog? friggin moron. Vanilla or white cake mix, food coloring. problem solved.

54. bob Says: February 5th, 2009 at 1:52 am I was gonna back the cake but the guy who wrote the page said it was just for fags. Can I make it if Ive done a girl with short hair in the butt?

61. Circles Says: February 9th, 2009 at 7:50 am Actually aluminium is pretty bad for your lungs if you smoke through it. Particles and stuff. I also want a big pile of those cakes so I can build a giant hermit-crab out of them and live in it. Mmmmm…

    
    

62. Rag Doll Says: February 16th, 2009 at 8:19 am Cool cake, I wanna make one now, lol. Some of the poster’s appear to be handicapped in some way… They have boxed cake mixes for people like this. But I’m also referring this to Michael, mostly. Also, “fag cakes”? “Oh-em-gee, A rAiNbOw CaKe!1! If i Eatz It I wIlL tUrN tO teh homo-ness!1!” Sorry, a bit exaggerated, but a few of these “flames” (which had the burn level of “your mother” jokes) get me annoyed.

    
    

63. grammar nazi Says: February 26th, 2009 at 7:45 pm @ demented judo (& cc ‘that guy’ & ‘michael’) are you freakin’ kidding me?? there are not “many accepted ways” to spell “you’re”. what you’re referring to is two totally different words, with totally different meanings, contexts AND ways of being spelt. PAY ATTENTION EVERYBODY WHO HAS NO CLUE method number 1. “I despise your ignorance”. THIS IS ‘OWNERSHIP’. method number 2. “you’re all retarded”. THIS IS AN ABBREVIATION OF ‘YOU ARE’. If you’re having trouble, and even if you think you aren’t, how about try to fit “you are” into the spot where “your/you’re” should go, then you’ll work out the right one, for fuck’s sake. unbelievable.

    
    

64. frogz legz Says: March 1st, 2009 at 2:10 am LULZ. Demented judo u iz your own worst enemy. You’re gay. LOL

66. Dr. G.F. Says: May 20th, 2009 at 7:52 pm All test subjects responded positively to the cake stimuli, as expected. The last subject completed all tasks but became unpredicatable and violent. I propose that she suffered extreme psychological trauma at the thought of not having cake, or perhaps being lied to, we cannot be sure. Ive suggested in an internal memo to AS personnel that we should discontinue the use of the cake during experimentation on several occasions, or at least have its use approved by the International Board of Ethics on Matter Transfer. In any case, repairs to the the laboratory and several expensive pieces of lab equipment will need to be completed, and in the meantime we can revise our standard operating procedure.
