Abstract Cake

An Abstract Cake that looks colorful and beautiful with a delicious taste, making it the perfect cake for me.

This is one of the best cakes I made this year. I had so much fun making it, and my kids enjoyed helping me. We all had a lovely and enjoyable time together.

The cake is like any regular cake. However, it’s the frosting that makes it unique. Instead of the usual decorating methods and shapes, I used blue, yellow, pink, and red food coloring to create the frosting.

Then, I painted abstract shapes on the cake, without any specific design in mind. The idea of making this Abstract Cake is to have fun and make a colorful Cake that looks beautiful at the end

You can definitely create other abstract shapes if you want. I just kept it simple and let my kids help me with that. They had their own chance to paint on the cake too which they love to do.

In the end, we all enjoyed making a colorful cake and were very satisfied with its colors, shape, and taste of course.
