The CAKE!
~ Supplies Needed~
4 tiered pans ( I suggest using the ones made for this by wilton but if not make sure you coat the pand in crisco with a little flour so it will pop out no problems)
4-5 Boxes of cake ( which ever you choose to use, I used 3 white 1 chocolateand if i had thought about it at the time I should have used red velvet for the red portion)
Food coloring in coordinating colors
Fondant & tool or Icing
If you are a novice like me some coffee and a few friends LOL !!

~ Instructions~
On the colored cakes
Take the white cake , separate into separate bowls
Add enough food coloring to make it bright but not taste it ( I think I used like 20 drops)
On the cakes you can either take a 1/4 cup and start by dropping int he middle a cup at a time OR you can pour the different colors inside take a toothpick and swirl around till mixed REMEMBER dont mix to much or the colors will mix instead of swirl .
Bake
Allow to cool , pop out of pan AND.....
