Rainbow Cake (Original Acrylic Painting by Kim Testone)

"Rainbow Cake," acrylic on 1/8" flat panel, 16" x 12". Unframed.

Based on a real-life rainbow cake that I baked and decorated. I actually baked seven individual small cakes, with each tinted for its respective rainbow color. I then stacked them with layers of thick buttercream frosting in between and sliced the edges, so it would be one tall slice of cake. And boy, was it tall! I quickly photographed it before it collapsed into a delicious oblivion. But now it endures in this painting!

While it was also the fourth cake painting in my cake series, and ultimately the one I was working toward as my first complex piece, it's so much more than just an exercise. It's a symbol of joy, diversity, equality, love, kindness and all of the other wonderful things we associate with rainbows. I hope it lifts your spirits, makes you smile and reminds you that no matter what happens in life, there will always still be rainbows.

Hope it makes you smile!
