Spring Rainbow Vanilla Cake Mix - 18oz - Favorite Day™

This cake mix was an adventure. The steps are super easy to understand and the box had everything in it that it said it would. Frosting doesn't come with the cake mix. The colors mixed well - we mixed the overall recipe in one bowl, then separated into six bowls to make the colors. Every part of the mix was fine up until the end of cooking time. The cakes stuck to the pans despite being pre-sprayed with cooking spray. I would suggest adding parchment paper to the pan first. When it came time to frost after cooling, the cakes just fell apart. BUT the cake actually tasted like a legit cake, so all in all it was a happy spring treat.

Brilliant colors. Easy to make. Flavoring was so off. It was like malt and chalk candy flavored with a bit of dust. The kids loved them with well flavored frosting.

The flavor reminds me of funfetti which is fine. I mostly got it because I thought it was cute and looked interesting. I think it was easy to do. I didn’t really like having to wash so many bowls from the color mixing but I mean it is a rainbow. The reason i did not give it five stars is because i used the directions with the food coloring, but is was far more vibrant than the pastel colors on the box. Also I might add I think other peoples pictures don’t really do it justice

I wasn’t convinced this would turn out great when I first started pouring, but aside from the first layer in each pan - all colors had great vibrance and visibility! Would definitely buy again!!! Flavor is also delicious

Directions are clear and cake is very easy to make. It’s definitely not vanilla flavored though - almost positive it’s almond. Still nice!

Made this with my two children as a fun rainy day activity. The instructions were clear and the cake turned out beautifully but the taste was not good at all. I can’t quite put my finger on what was so off about the flavor, but I won’t be purchasing it again.

This is hot garbage. Until it cools off then it will be cold garbage.

Very pretty cake and tastes good too!

Cake was fun to make, tasted great. Colors didn’t turn out exactly as picture, however the cake was still pretty & my daughter enjoyed doing something different.

Total garbage. Looked terrible and most definitely NOTHING like the picture. Very disappointing as this was for a birthday.

One less worried the colors would be muted, but I just put in more dye then suggested and it turned out great. Everyone loved it and said it was delicious!

Lovely, Moist and delicious, colors came out a bit squished together but still rainbow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had fun making a naked cake with this cake mix. It had to definitely double up mixes though in order to make all the layers, one box won’t do it unless the layers are even thicker than this.

I bought this for my daughter so that we could make a cake together for her birthday. She had asked for a rainbow cake - so when I saw this, I thought "why not"? I am not an experienced baker by any means and this is a cake mix under $4 - so my expectation is really low, especially given how complicated the end product looks. One confusion/shock I had initially was that red/pink comes in powder form as opposed to the liquid shown on the box. Besides this, the instructions are quite clear. My daughter had a blast mixing up the ``right'' shades. The end result was so much better than I could have anticipated - It looks ``rainbow'', although the individual layers of colors in our cake aren't so cleanly separated as shown in the box. Part of the reasons I believe is that I used 2 9" pans (since that was all I have) while the recipe calls for 2 8" pans. Taste-wise, I think it's pretty good given it's a store-bought cake mix. In short, a great product and a super fun experience!

I was looking forward to making this for Easter. I bought two new 8” cake pans and 6 bowls just to make this, cant return any because I put them all in the dishwasher. Opened box tonight and there is no pink coloring. How do I following the instructions if you leave out a very important thing. Very disappointed

Simple to follow instructions! Turned out lovely! The red color was a powder which was a surprise but did a fine job with mixing in the batter and with the blue and yellow liquid dye. It may have a light almond or vanilla flavor- I couldn’t quite tell but it was very yummy to many people. It’s a box mix- can’t be too picky

The box didn’t actually contain the three color packs. It was yellow and blue and then a red powder. The powder was not strong enough to make pink, orange, or purple because the liquid colors overpowered it and the pink was just white still cuz there was no actual color. Absolute trash!

Loved it! So much fun and easy. Super delicious too! We used strawberry frosting.

So fun and delicious!

Nice idea, vibrant colors. Unfortunately the cake smelled and tasted of almonds. This was a huge disappointment for my daughter who enjoyed making the cake and mixing the colors. The taste was so strong and definitely not vanilla. No-one liked it so it was binned.
