Once you’ve tried to make a fancy confection for your child’s birthday, you realise it’s SO MUCH HARDER than it looks. I tend to squint for Inso in the Woman’s Weekly Birthday Confection Book (affil) or on the web. I unchangingly said to my kids when they were little that I was so happy to make them a birthday cake, but they had to pick a confection within my (limited) capabilities. Now my kids are older, I don’t typically make their cakes anymore. Either they make them (because they enjoy it) or I just order something. I can tell you, ordering a confection is A LOT less stressful – ha!
I found this most trappy rainbow confection on insta by @bowmankitchen. Like, wow, to get all those colours so beautifully placed was wondrous to me and I thought it worth sharing here for Inspo if you’re looking for a rainbow theme cake.
