This is one of my favorite cakes ever! If you don't own four 9-inch layer cake pans, you'll need to bake these in shifts. DO NOT use grape Jell-O mix!

SERVES 8 , 8 slices (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package white cake mix, batter prepared (or home-made white cake batter)

  • 1 tablespoon cherry Jell-O, mix
  • 1 tablespoon orange Jell-O, mix
  • 1 tablespoon lime Jell-O gelatin, mix
  • 1 tablespoon berries, blast jell-o mix

  • 2 (16 ounce) cans frosting, 1 yellow, 1 white. (This can be substituted with 16 oz. home-made white frosting and 16 oz. home-made yellow frosting.)
  • 6 drops blue food coloring

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven at 350.
  2. 2
    Divide prepared white cake batter equally into 4 bowls.
  3. 3
    Mix 1 tablespoons Jell-O powder into each bowl, one color per bowl. Stir until blended. Additional Jell-O powder may be added at this time for brighter colors.

    Cover outside of cake with blue frosting. spread the remaining white frosting atop the blue frosting as clouds.
