AWESOME 80's 30th Birthday!

The 80's has a lot of well-known looks, big hair, colorful clothing, and who can forget the music! (Okay, okay...I was born at the end of the 80's...but I can still like the music!) This request was for a friend who was turning 30, she wanted to turn back time and have a totally awesome 80s birthday party, cake included!  After tossing out a few ideas - Simon (the light up - Simon Sez game), a boom box, or even a rubix cube...a mix tape with fun colors won out!

I thought it would be really cool to make the inside of the cake match the funky colors of the 80's so I Tye-dyed the inside. This was the first time I have ever attempted to Tye dye a cake and it was quite successful!  I separated the batter into different bowls and added, red, green, blue, purple, yellow, and teal food coloring to each batter and then mixed into the pan!  It came out super bright and fun!  Decorating the cake was simple - the hardest part was making sure it looked like a cassette...do you even own any of them anymore?  I think I had 3 cassette tapes in my life!

It was fun, colorful and yummy - the birthday girl looked awesome (hot pink hair, teased to new heights and colorful spandex!) and she loved the cake.  Her birthday was totally awesome...what do you think about the cake?  Bake on!
