Probably my own fault but I didn't check the size beforehand and they were too small for a 5 layer cake in my opinion.It’s deceptively simple to make too – all you need is basic cake ingredients and a rainbow of food colouring! Colour the buttercream in the same way you coloured the cake batter, then place each colour into a separate piping bag. Turn the turntable in a fluid motion while ensuring you keep the blade at a 45 degree angle against the side of the cake with your other hand.

Measure the icing sugar, butter and milk and add them to a large mixing bowl or free-standing mixer. No need to keep the oven on for hours while you bake layer after layer – simply split the mix between the five non-stick cake tins and pop them in the oven together to bake - easy peasy layer cake! Add in the three large eggs along with the vanilla essence / extract, and beat until they are incorporated, with no dark yellow streaks of the egg yolk remaining.
