Multi-Colored Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling

I happened to find the greatest video tutorial for a Rainbow Colored Cake Roll and just had to make one! My food coloring gel set came with some bright colors and some pastel, so I opted to just use the bright ones which I thought would be closest to true colors... Surprise!!! I ended up with a neon cake roll! Not what I had in mind but still cute and different... Sometimes ya just gotta roll with it:@)
Pin It
I love this idea folks, there are so many possibilities: pink, white and blue for baby showers- red, white and blue- orange, white and black- red and green- and my personal favorite... Sports team colors! You can click HERE for a very clear video with instructions and recipe measurements.

 Notes:
  • I knew I wanted multi-colors in each slice so I ran my stripes the opposite way than the lady did in the video. 
  • The stripes of color were added using Wilton disposable icing bags.
  • I did trim the edges all the way around the cake-the Baker's treat!
  • While her whipped cream filling sounded great I planned to serve this the next day so I opted for a more solid Cream Cheese Filling: 4oz cream cheese, 1 Tblsp butter (add 2 Tblsp if you'd like), 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 C powdered sugar mixed well.
  • This project is best made in a cooler, temperature controlled environment... Windows open on a humid July day in Philadelphia=Eggs deflating (read: melting) fairly quickly.
