cake pan(s)
bowls and measuring spoons
small candies, sprinkles, or other edible decorations

Step 1-

Make cake batter according to the back of the box 

Step 2- 

Split the batter up into 6 different bowls. Add 2-3 drops of food coloring to make each bowl a different color

Step 3- 

Bake according to box instructions each color in a different pan. We had to wait for our pan to cool before using it again for another color.

These are cooling while we re-use the pan each time

Step 4-

Cut the tops off so they are nice and flat for stacking
