Katie's Kickers: 6 Layered, Orange Ombre

My sweet sister just graduated last week, the 23rd of May, 2013!

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make another cool cake, and she wasn't complaining when I told her it would be ORANGE!

Her favorite color is orange, so when I found this super cool cake off of howdoesshe.com

I had to try and do the 6 layers!

It was fun trying to figure out how to make orange cake mix... I was having a blonde moment and couldn't figure out how in the world I was going to get different shades of orange. Before I was about to go to the store and look for orange food coloring, I had to remind myself that yellow + red = orange.

We got there! 6 different shades of orange. Or 6 almost different shades of orange.

I followed the tips on howdoesshe.com and used the 3 different frostings she recommended. It wasn't pretty, but when it was stiff and frozen enough to frost, I was glad I followed the "crumby frosting" suggestion. It made the cake easier to frost the last layer so that I didn't get orange cake pieces all over the pretty white frosting.

I popped it in the freezer while we went to Kallie's graduation ceremony, and when we got home, it was perfectly ready to frost! I used a marshmallow fluff frosting, and it was actually pretty good.
