FOR THE COLOURFUL CAKE
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and mix all different colours. Bake 6 round cakes. Pack it out in the table. Press 3 circles out of each cake, using 2 sizes of round cookie cutters. Interchange the colours of the 6 cakes using cream to seal the circles. Layer these different coloured layers with cream and decorate.

FOR THE ICING
Roshaan Pather
I use Meadowland cream. It’s a box of cream that you can buy by Makro. I mix it with either very thick custard, caramel, or youghurt.
