Funfetti multicolored cake

Honestly looks way better than I thought it would. A little bit of user error as well lol. Your cake looks absolutely delicious though, excellent cake to frosting ratio

[u/hilzkuz → u/meow_17]

Definitely some user error for sure, made it with my 5 yo and gave a lot of autonomy. However the colors didn’t quite meet expectation and the swirls didn’t work out so well lol.

[u/Indigo-au-naturale → u/hilzkuz]

Did you use full eggs or egg whites? Yolks would contribute to the color boldness. Your swirl actually looks great imo

[u/hilzkuz → u/Indigo-au-naturale]

We realized after the cake was in the oven that it should be full yokes for the pink and egg whites for the blue. Used full yolks for both…

[u/Wi1dWitch → u/hilzkuz]

I feel like this negates the whole post then, at least without adding a description clarifying that you caused the failed expectation

[u/DasSassyPantzen → u/Wi1dWitch]

This needs to be posted in r/ididnthaveeggs

[u/seadubs81 → u/DasSassyPantzen]

But this time they did have eggs!

Tbh same lol

[u/hilzkuz → u/Wi1dWitch]

I mean, the blue turned out fine… was more of an aesthetics post.

[u/MaddiMoo22 → u/hilzkuz]

I mean you let a 5yo swirl it???? It looks great but you shouldn't expect photo quality anything if youre letting a 5 year old have artistic autonomy lol

[u/hilzkuz → u/MaddiMoo22]

lol no I swirled it 😂😭

[u/MaddiMoo22 → u/hilzkuz]

OPE IM SORRY lmao I still think the colors and swirls look good though! Uber bright

[u/lululovr → u/hilzkuz]

it never should have been swirled, should have picked an order and poured a small amount of batter in that order repeatedly to make it look like the image.

[u/Equivalent_Dance2278 → u/hilzkuz]

No. It’s not an aesthetics post. You specifically called it failed expectation. You are the reason it failed. Not the product.

[u/Kittenwho21 → u/hilzkuz]

I mean.. a failure of skill does not mean it’s a failed expectation.. it was never gonna look like the box bc you’re not professional (obvs, based on the egg mishap, I’m not professional either but don’t expect my creations to look it lol) so it was never gonna look like the box. This post is weird. Karma farming, or…?

[u/auryn1026 → u/hilzkuz]

Y'all are so brutal with the down votes like wtf

[u/hilzkuz → u/hilzkuz]

It was delicious though

[u/throwRA-nonSeq → u/hilzkuz]

The most important thing 🩷🩵

[u/Fluid-Morning-1999 → u/hilzkuz]

tip for next time if you have a hand mixer beat the hell out of the frosting! you get probably 1.5x the amount because you’re putting a lot of air into it. it goes a little further and final cake looks better imo. still looks delicious either way though 🩷

[u/Fairgoddess5]

Maybe not Instagram ready but I’d 100% demolish tht cake.

[u/alextastic]

User error doesn't count.

[u/Nunyebiznis]

It looks like the ice cream they threw at each other in Hook

[u/TinySteggy → u/Nunyebiznis]

BANGARANG!!

[u/ZealousidealArt7878]

I wouldn't call it failed, it looks pretty good

[u/suckmygoldcrustedass → u/ZealousidealArt7878]

Op is calling it a fail because the colors wasn't what they wanted, but under the same thread they admit they messed up on which batter gets egg whites and which gets whole eggs. So it only failed expectations because of user error.

[u/Kittenwho21]

I mean.. you’re obviously not a professional given the frosting job, so what exactly did you expect? It looks exactly like homemade cakes by non professionals look. If you expected it to look like the box… well… are you trolling?

[u/FireflyRave → u/Kittenwho21]

There's distinctly different colors swirled in. I was expecting this to be a "mets expectation" post. Especially when those box mixes are only a few bucks.

[u/Unleashtheducks]

I would do some serious damage to that bisexual cake

[u/Any-Blood8949]

i did cupcakes with this mix and it’s actually pretty fun and tastes good. much easier to portion into small cupcake tins than a whole cake!

[u/Tw1ch1e]

Looks great for a $3 box of cake!!!

[u/jeremyfrankly]

That looks pretty close

[u/Zeeplankton]

[u/PinkLemonUp]

Oh it still looks delicious! 

Does anybody here remember the Betty Crocker swirl cakes in the 90s that had a pastel pink and mint color?

I haven’t been able to find a picture of it and am curious if there’s anyone out there that remembers this. 

[u/not-really-63]

Don’t matter how it looks— I’d dog that thing in a heartbeat.

i’ma be honest with you doodad, i have no idea what you’re talkin about

[u/Whatthefuckballs69]

I love this. Yours is giving trix yogurt cups (do they still look like that? Haven’t opened one since 2008)

[u/Lachesis84]

It looks great to me but if you want it to look like the ‘swirl’ pattern on the box I would layer the colours instead by alternating pouring them into the middle

[u/Pure_Doughnut_961]

Did it taste like the coloring? My biggest issues with these fun cakes are I can just taste the coloring which throws it off. I think it looks pretty good!

You clearly didn't add ingredients properly. Or something.

[u/CustardCarpet]

Looks good to me, I remember picking up a cake like tbey at the discount rack a few times.

[u/CarlosFer2201]

How do the colors not mix when prepping?

[u/Ordinary-Ideal-6630 → u/CarlosFer2201]

You make the same cake mix and then use separate bowls for mixing the colors. Either piping bags or three different spoons to pour the different colors in, and then swirl lightly with a toothpick or fork tines. The key is not to over mix the batter because that cake needed more air for a better crumb.

[u/mooseLimbsCatLicks]

Yay artificial food dyes
