Each cake layer is a different shade of your featured color, typically using food dye for the desired effect. For this ombre cake, I used Kool-Aid and a box of white cake mix. I divided the batter up evenly into three bowls and baked the cakes in 6-inch cake pans.
Set aside a little extra for the white part of the ombre. Using Wilton Food Color Gel in Sky Blue, dip a toothpick into the food gel. Be sure to get only a VERY small amount of gel onto the pick! Smear the pick into one bowl of the buttercream and use a spatula to incorporate until uniform. Set aside.
The blue raspberry ombre cake was made with the concentrated blue raspberry drops. I have also made Kool-Aid cake with powdered mix. Either options work fine, but you do have to adjust how much Kool-Aid you add to each cake batter depending on how vibrant the color is in that particular flavor of Kool-Aid.
Overlap the two colors where they meet. Finally, use the lightest shade of blue buttercream to spread on the final third of the cake. Remember to smooth the sides with the edge of the spatula.
