Set the mixer to the to the lowest speed, and alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk mixture a little bit at a time, starting and ending with the dry mixture.

Use the food coloring to color one bowl bright green, one bright orange and the last bright pink.

• Cool the cakes for 20 minutes.

When piped, the colors will blend together.
