Because that’s where this rainbow ended.
In celebration of the first day of spring, I made a cake to reflect this bright and beautiful season.
I surprised the kids after school with the news that not only had I baked a cake, but it was what we were serving for dinner!
Dessert on the first day of spring was to be pizza, later. First things first, though.
Tommy, while processing the wonderful night of rainbow cake and pizza ahead, declared, “I’ve never felt so alive!”
Very Spring of him.

If you’d like to make your own rainbow cake, go here to learn some hows. The whys are self-evident.
She made it with soda, whipped topping, and pudding (a Weight Watchers thing), but I made the cake batter per box directions and I did not double the recipe, as she suggested. It was sufficient to make a double-layer cake for the eight of us who have teeth.
Mmmm. That kind of reminds me of your rainbow goldfish stories a few years back! lol

Cake is one of my favorite dinners, and pizza one of my favorite desserts – feel free to invite me to dinner at your house sometime! (Spaghetti is a great dessert too!)

oh, I’m too old to contemplate the thought of a rainbow cake for dinner, but how wonderful for your children! Happy Spring!

Dessert for supper! I love that. We do that on the day that we go to the berry picking farm, when it would be Cruel and Imhumane Punishment to have anythign but strawberry shortcake for supper.

I randomly came across your blog one day and now have been silently “lurking” for a while. Love your thoughtful parenting ideas; definitely going to be having this supper before Easter is over! Thanks for the link!

Oh my. I read your post at 5 Minutes and said, “how have I not met this person?” And now I’m so relieved I met you in time to view this cake. I’m making it. Today. My boys will FREAK. It’s beautiful!

Groovy! I’m not a baker, but may just have to give this a shot because I think the kids would go nuts for it!
