Welcome to How To Cook That I am Ann Reardon

Today we are making a rainbow loom band cake. With rainbow frosting in between the layers

Adverbs of degree

and a giant loom band bracelet on top. For the uninitiated loom bands are just little

bands that you weave together to make into bracelets and all different other creations.

Firstly you Will need to make two quantities of the sponge cake recipe and two quantities

of one of the frosting recipes. The sponge cake and frosting recipes and all the videos

of how to make them are all on the website howtocookthat.net and I'll put a link in the

description below this video. Place 2/3 cup of your frosting into 5 different

bowls and mix in your pink colour into the first one. And here I am using the french

buttercream frosting recipe you can use any of the recipes that I've got on the website

just use the on that you like the taste of the best. And I'm also making it pastel colours,

if you want them brighter you can of course just add more colouring. Then I've mixed an

Use a cake leveler or a knife to split your sponge cakes in half and level off the top

Place your first cake onto the cake stand and then spread the pink frosting over the

top going close to but not quite to the edges so that when you add that next layer it doesn't

all squeeze out the sides. Continue to layer it up with the other colours.

Now a few weeks back I made youtube cupcakes with all your favourite you-tubers on them

and someone requested could i do something similar with apps. And I thought that's a

great idea. So let me know your favourite apps in the comments below they can be games,

photo & videos ones, lifestyle, productivity whatever apps you love using the most.

Now cover the whole thing in a thin layer of the uncoloured frosting. This thin layer

catches any crumbs so it's called the crumb coat. Once it's covered place it into the

While it is in the fridge we want to make our loom bands. Take a snake lolly and cut

it's mouth so that it opens. Then cut two slices off the tail leaving so it leaves you

with a point like this. Heat that up with a brulee torch and then

make the snake bite it's own tail. Give it a squeeze together and then let that cool.

If you don't have a brulee torch you can light a candle and hold it next to the base of the

flame, don't put it in the flame or it will go black.

Make lots of these in whatever colours you like.

Then we are ready to make a giant edible loom band bracelet.

Take two of your bands squash them with the join the snake head bit in the middle and

then place one on top of the other to make a cross. Fold the bottom one in half so it

wraps around that yellow one. Then take a red band find the head again and

squash it so the that's in the centre and then feed that through the loops on the orange

band. Now fold up the ends of the red one to make

the loops for the next bit . And you can see we are starting to get that woven pattern.

Keep adding more, for those who are unsure what I just did I'll show you a couple more.

So squash the circle and then feed it through the loops of the last one, then straighten

it up and fold it to make that the loops for the next one.

Once you are happy with the length we need to join it together. Now usually you'd have

a plastic clasp but we are going to use another snake.

So place it through the loops of each one then loop it around so that it is nice and

neat and trim it and use your brulee torch again to heat it up and seal the ends together.

Now you could give this as a gift to your friends just like that. But we are actually

going to use it on the cake. Take the cake out of the fridge and cover

it in another layer of frosting using your spatula to smooth it out.

Add your loom bracelet on top and then put the spare bands around the edge. And to make

it look pretty add a smarty and then a mini m&m above each one in the matching colour.

Then you can cut through the bracelet use sharp clean scissors and obviously then use

a knife to cut through the rest of the cake and reveal those beautiful layers of colours.
