Bake cake. Prepare cake batter following recipe instructions. Bake and cool two cake layers. Level, fill and stack for 6 in. high cake.
Using white buttercream, ice cake smooth.

Combine Creamy Peach and Black icing colors to get medium pink color shown. Combine Creamy Peach and Ivory icing colors to get medium peach color shown.

Mark cake. Using a ruler and toothpick, mark line around bottom of cake, 1 in. from base; this will be for the fringe.
Pipe rainbows. Starting with dark pink, pipe bottom row of rainbows. Rainbows should be about 2 in. high from top of 1 in. line. Repeat around cake. Continue filling in rainbows with medium pink, medium peach and beige icing.
Repeat for a second row of rainbows, using dark pink to pipe an arch from the middle of one rainbow, up 2 in. high, then back down to the middle of the next rainbow. Continue filling in rainbows with remaining colors.
