3 Fun Rainbow Cake Recipes for Girl Scouts



Girl Scout Logo Cake

This 11x15 Girl Scout cake with American buttercream icing is made with ready made green Wilton fondant and a box of white cake mix. The flowers are made with a number 18 star tip with a white dot of icing in the middle of each. Trace the pattern on a piece of paper and trace it out with edible markers, then cut out with kitchen shears. Easy peasy!


The icing is a homemade whipped buttercream. The Girl Scout cake is an 11x15 Betty Crocker cake mix, but add 3 eggs, 1 stick melted butter, and 1 cup milk instead of following the box directions.


How to Make a Rainbow Cake with Colored Batter

If you want to make your cake batter rainbow colored too, check out this recipe for Rainbow Cake. The Girl Scout Troop will love mixing this one.


  • First, mix up cake batter, you can make a white cake from scratch or use your favorite white cake from a box.
  • Divide the batter evenly between 6 bowls.
  • Add food coloring, stir to combine.
  • Pour batter evenly into two 8 inch pans in reverse order. (Darkest colors first.)
  • Bake as directed.
  • Level the cakes.
  • Put icing in between the layers, stack, spread icing on the outside.

A birthday is the perfect excuse to make a rainbow cake, but who needs an excuse? After reading several different tutorials on how to make a rainbow cake and cupcakes, we got started.  First, mix up a box of white cake mix following the package directions, or you can use your favorite homemade cake recipe. Then, involve the Girl Scout Troop. Let them count out the bowls, (you need 1 bowl for each color of the rainbow)  mix in the food coloring. 





Why stop at Rainbow batter and icing, when you can make your cake the shape of a Unicorn? It is easy to make a Rainbow Unicorn Cake too!

How to Make a Rainbow Unicorn Cake Recipe

Use the same cake mix and directions to tweak it as in the Girl Scout Cake above.
This time, use  8" round cake pans.
Fill the pans just over 3/4 way full. (You'll need two cake mixes.)
Wrap the pans with a wet towel strip. (This helps them to rise.)
Ice with the same whipped buttercream as above.
Unicorn horn is an ice cream cone sprayed with Wilton brand gold edible glitter spray.
Ears are pink card stock with a toothpick to hold them in place.
Flowers are made with different size star tips as mentioned above in the logo cake.
For color, use Wilton gel food coloring. Black is Wilton brand gel icing.

Traditional Yule Log Recipe

Easy Yule Log Recipe



Ahh, Ye olde Yule Log. What's a Yule Log, you ask? Depends who you ask. Are you hungry or do you want to keep warm for the holidays? Find out the history of the Yule Log. Is it food - yes and also no! Apparently, the dessert cake, Chocolate Yule Log, was created after the one you place in your fireplace. This traditional Yule Log recipe is delicious, but it also serves as a great family tradition when you make it with your children. Watch the Yule Log video below while you bake. Enjoy!


Traditional Yule Log Recipe


How to Make a Yule Log



This spongy, oil-less Yule Log cake comes from Taste of Home as part of its Chocolate Cherry Cream-Filled Log Recipe. We made a few adjustments. Instead of the whipped cream filling, we used a Cherry Almond Buttercream with chopped Chocolate Covered Cherries folded in. Top your cake roll with chocolate ganache, melted milk chocolate chips, or just dust with some powdered sugar. We made our Yule Log festive by adding green paper leaves that adorn the cherries. You can also make the leaves with edible ganache.

Strawberry Cupcakes Recipe in Mini-Muffin Pan

How to Make Strawberry Cupcakes Recipe

This recipe makes Strawberry Cupcakes in a Mini-Muffin Pan. It yields enough cupcakes for a large group. Get creative with your mix-ins and infuse cupcakes with your favorite jamEnjoy! 


How to make strawberry cupcakes in a mini-muffin pan.
How to make strawberry cupcakes in a mini-muffin pan.

We had to come up with an item to take for a Teacher Appreciation Week pitch-in luncheon at Chick-a-Bitty and Bug's school. I knew I needed to bring in something that would feed over forty teachers and wouldn't require major refrigerator space. I thought if I could make this in my Mini Muffin Pan ( it makes twenty-four muffins at a time) and with one cake mix, I could make a little over forty-eight muffins!


Make Strawberry Cupcakes in a Mini- Muffin Pan to feed the whole gang.

Ingredients:

  • 1 strawberry cake mix 

If you can't find strawberry cake mix, Pillsbury and Betty Crocker make a white one- just add about one drop of red food coloring. 


  • Add 1 tsp. of strawberry extract


IMO, Strawberry cake mix is prettier, because it makes a pink cake with red speckles, plus you're putting in the white chips = very pretty! 

You can also as fresh strawberries to the white cake mix for a similar effect.

  • 1 tsp. strawberry extract 
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 (3 oz. box) cheesecake pudding mix
  • 16 oz. sour cream
  • ½ cup oil
  • 3 eggs 
  • Garnish: whipped topping and fresh strawberries. 
  • Preheat oven to 325 Degrees
  • Spray your pan lightly 
  • Whisk eggs and pudding mix together.
  • Add remaining ingredients, blend well.


Strawberry Cupcakes
White cake mix with fresh strawberries.

  • Using a medium or large ice cream scoop, (depends on how big you want your mini cakes) put in pan. 

How to infuse cupcakes and cakes.
Infuse cupcakes with a jam filled icing tube.

  • Bake for 10-12 min. Let cool on cooling rack and remove from pan. Repeat until all the batter is used.
  • Once cupcakes are baked, use a frosting tube filled with jam to infuse. It is easy, just insert and squirt! Now, you are a gourmet baker!
Tip:  If there is extra batter for a third round but not enough to fill all cups, fill empty cups with a bit of water so it will not ruin and over bake the empty cups.

After everything is cool, use whipped topping to decorate top of mini-cakes. Add a sliced strawberry to put on top.

You can also frost with cream cheese frosting and drizzle with chocolate syrup as seen below.
