Ingredients

  • box cake mix white
  • cup water boiling
  • tablespoons strawberries lime-flavored (from 4-serving-size boxes)
  • 12 oz vanilla frosting 
  • 2.7 oz decorating gel green blue (pink, , orange and )
  • 17.6 oz frangelico 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • oven
  • wire rack
  • toothpicks
  • skewers

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with baking spray with flour. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan, using water, oil and egg whites. Cool in pan on cooling rack 20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in 3 separate bowls, pour 1/3 cup of the boiling water over each flavored gelatin; stir until gelatin is dissolved. Poke warm cake every inch with wooden skewer halfway into cake, twisting skewer back and forth.
  3. Pour each color gelatin randomly over cake, allowing gelatin to fill in holes. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  4. Frost cake. With decorating gels, draw vertical lines 1/4 inch apart on frosting, alternating colors. Pull fine-tip paintbrush in straight line across all colors. Repeat, working back and forth from one side of cake to the other to create a tie-dye effect.
  5. Roll fondant to 1/8-inch thickness; cut into rounds and flower shapes. Insert toothpicks halfway into cutouts; decorate cake slices as desired.
