Whether for birthdays, anniversaries, celebrations, or just because, a homemade cake is a treat any time and for any occasion. Cakes also can be as easy or as complex as you want them to be. You can buy cake mix at the store and add eggs, or you can make it entirely from scratch and embellish it with artistic frosting. Watch the [How to Bake Cakes](3D) class, and you’ll feel confident the next time you need to bake a cake. I’ll take you step by step through five different recipes, provide clear instructions, and share plenty of tips you can use anytime you bake a cake. And along with these oh-so-tasty recipes you’ll get a handy frosting dying guide, so you can create any color frosting you want for your next culinary adventure! Join the RecipeLion Gold Club, and you can watch the [How to Bake Cakes](3D) streaming-video cooking class with me, Chef Addie Gundry, right now! [Subscribe now.](3D) One cake that’s a real showstopper is the Rainbow Swirl Cake. Believe it or not, this is a really simple cake, and once you get the technique down, you can turn this into a themed cake for anything you want. Make it the colors of your favorite team, use pastel colors for a spring party—the options are endless. The easiest way to make this recipe is to start with a box of white cake mix. Once you make the batter, divide it evenly into containers. I went with four (one for each color), but you can use more or less depending on how many colors you want. Add a few drops of food coloring to dye the batter, and mix it in. Once your batter is ready, start layering it into your cake pans, just a little at a time. That’s it! Pop it in the oven. When the cake is done, give it time to cool, then frost one layer, top that with the second layer, and frost the cake. Add sprinkles for color and you are ready to impress your guests.  [Subscribe now.]( [Upgrade Now!](  Learn to make the Rainbow Swirl Cake right now in the [How to Bake Cakes](3D) class—then discover more tasty recipes for any occasion, with the many classes in the RecipeLion Gold Club’s [Library](3D).
