Ingredients

1 box white angel food cake mix
1 1/4 cups water
2 containers fluffy white whipped ready-to-spread frosting
Teal, bright green and yellow gel food color

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box using water. Immediately turn pan upside down onto a heatproof funnel or bottle. Let cake hang about 2 hours or until completely cool. Remove from pan.
Use 1/2 cup of the frosting to thinly coat surface of cake. Add 3 to 4 drops teal color to 3/4 cup frosting to make desired color, add 3 to 4 drops green color with 3/4 cup frosting and add 3 to 4 drops yellow color to remaining 1 cup frosting for desired colors.
Frost cake with a horizontal strip of teal, a horizontal strip of green and a horizontal strip of yellow to cover the cake completely and down the center. Use an offset spatula to blend the colors together to achieve a watercolor appearance. Top cake with paper bunting for decoration, if desired.
