Rainbow Layer Cake

Jamie and my adorable niece Charlotte is coming to visit us for her 6th birthday. (She chose visiting us for the weekend over having a birthday party!) We're going to have a little party for her up here and when my sister-in-law Katie asked if we could get a cake for her, I thought it would be fun to do something special. Enter the rainbow layer cake. (I did try an easier version once before.) Not sure if you've seen this all over the pinterest-sphere, but it's a beautiful cake with six colored layers - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple - with white icing in between and on the outside. So it looks like a plain, white cake, but is all rainbow when you cut into it. It is definitely more work than a regular cake, but worth is if you have a little kid to impress.

Ingredients:
Two packages of white cake (pick whatever kind you want)
-follow the instructions on the back and use just the egg whites if that's an option - it will lead to crisper colors
