Whether you are celebrating a hunter's birthday or creating a welcome home cake for a member of the armed forces, a camouflage cake adds to the ambiance of the event. Not only does this cake use a camouflage design on the icing, it carries the theme inside the cake, as well. When you cut into the cake and remove a piece, guests will see the pattern inside. Creating the patterns requires no molds, just food coloring and white cake batter.

Instructions

1. • 1

     Spray the cake pan with cooking spray.

   • 3

     Scoop one color of batter at a time and pour it into the pan. Alternate between the colors as you fill the pan. The batter and colors spread, creating a camouflage pattern. Bake the cake for the amount of time stated in the recipe. Once it's done cooking, let it cool completely before continuing.

     Run a knife along the edges of the cake to loosen it. Flip the pan over to remove the cake.

   • 5

     Insert an icing tip into the bottom of an icing cone. Dip a clean knife into the brown icing dye. Run the knife inside of the icing cone to make a line from the tip to the top third of the cone. Make four to six lines around the cone. Fill the cone with green icing, and fold over the top. Squeeze the icing on to the cake. The brown dye adds stripes to the green icing.

     Serve the iced cake.
