If the rainbow won't appear, create it.

My son is nearly three years old now and every time I look at him, I see all the goodness that I have ever imparted to the world during the years I am fortunate enough to exist. I must have done a whole lot of good things to deserve such a happy little lad. His smile says "the bad days are well and truly over". 

 It really is the little things...like baking! He likes to lick the spatula covered in buttercream or ganache. He makes my cakes a whole lot sweeter. 

Today we baked a rainbow cake for my friend's daughter's 17th. This we did, from start to finish, in three hours. Not too shabby considering I have never made this cake before. I'd like to make it again when I am not pressed for time and I think next time I will let my son drop the food colour into the cake batter. No harm in believing magic exists, even in home baking!
