This abstract watercolor cake takes your culinary masterpiece to the next level. Created by Sugar and Cloth, the DIY watercolor dessert is decorated with a food safe paint brush and gel food coloring.
The bonus is you don't really need any artistic ability or painting skills to pull this design off -- just lots of different colors. This could be a great cake to make for a baby shower, especially if you use more food coloring for the inside to do a surprising gender reveal. Of course, the watercolor cake is suitable for a number of other occasions, from birthdays to celebratory events. The 'Yay' cake topper is optional.
If you want to recreate this treat at home, you will need clear vodka, liquor or other flavored alcohol extract, toothpicks and plain white icing in any flavor.
