Face Painting – How to make a Rainbow Cake
Likes: 93 – Dislikes: 2
Here’s a quick tutorial on how I make miniture rainbow cakes. These are super fun to make and I have tons of them! The paints you see featured here are ones I use to refill my appetizer pallet, so it already has chunks missing, but you can use this process on any cakes you have.
These cakes were also softened with water before hand. I just sprayed them lightly with water and let them absorb over night. This helps the paint not be so crumby. This doesn’t work for metalic colors however, sorry. You just have to deal with the crumbly texture of metallic colors.
Supplies
32 ml cake in whatever colors you want
here I am using Diamond FX Neon colors – yellow, red, orange, blue, purple, green
( their neon range is a bit more transparent than the regular colors so keep that in mind when you are picking colors )
Razor blade
Square container for the rainbow cake
( I got these at hobby lobby for $1.99 for 10, they come stacked together )

Pretty cool, but I must say I like the song! It's very hypnotizing. What's the name?
yep, I actually make both the big and small ones depending on the color combo and technique I plan on using. The size of the split just depends on what you intend to use it for.
or you make the small one so your square flat brush will fit it?
why dont you just make a big one so you dont have to cut it up so much
Tiny little rainbow cake, for making the cutest of cute rainbows.
@BirthdayCastle Toss em in the freezer for a little while!
I get my little containers from Manchester Minerals in the UK. They do lots of different sizes :0)
Wow very cool
Hi! can someone tell me which face faint is the best and cheapest? which one is the best to use for face painting.?
nice and great video!!!
oh, hello there! some of my Snaz paint is too "wet" or soft, i cant cut them properly..any idea what can i do..? or is Snaz paint not suitable to be made into rainbow cake?
wow can't wait to make my own! What music is this? I love it.
@GioviLand it's Diamond FX… I dont know of any in paste form…. I have no idea
@thebffsisters100 thanks!
@HandiMandiFP I smash them into my larger cakes – those little pieces definately add up!
what do you do with all the extra little peices? i hate wasting them, do u use them for something else or just toss em?
thanks i found them!
@keeshadixson at my hobby lobby they are with the other containers – like the ones you use for sand art or lotion bottle. Not sure if that helped – but there ya go
@Sparklingfaces I'm sorry i must not have been clear… i meant what part of the store are they in? You know what type of items are around them? Party supplies? Model Making? Artist supplies?
@keeshadixson i got these at hobby lobby – you get 10 for $2… haven't seen them anywhere else – sorry
Where are these containers located? Are they with artist supplies or beading or what? I've been trying to find some like this but i haven't had any luck. Thanks.
@clashtheclown yep yep – love your site, I buy alot of bulk paints from you! great sales!
Hi! I make my own, and I also sell already made ones by Diamond FX at my online store,JestPaint com. Sometimes it is nice to just have them sent to you in the mail! You did a really nice job here! The razor blade (versus a knife) seems to have done very little damage to the cake, so they came out crisp!
@vjsparkles awe sorry to hear that – you should do a search for Darice containers and see what comes up in your area.
that's a good idea! – I've just been tossing them! I only collected the wolfe containers as I like the size of theirs – but I guess it wouldn't hurt to have the diamond fx ones for large split cakes… thanks!
