I made this gorgeous looking cake a month ago for a dear friend’s birthday. With my busy schedule and work, now only getting time to post it.

I stuck to my favorite white cake recipe and used various shades of peach and pink to create Ombre effect of pastels. There are few things which I have been meaning to do since I started baking and using food coloring in ‘dots’ to get the desired color is one of them.

Food coloring available in India is either very inferior or very expensive. During V’s last visit to US, I got him to bring me Americolor pack. And now I am a happy and colorful baker. :)
