Color each part with food coloring (orange, purple, pink, green, red).

Pour the colored batter into a same size baking tray and smooth it out.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and bake the cake layers.

Prepare the syrup by boiling 200 mL of water with 100 g of sugar and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice until syrupy.

For the icing, mix 1 liter of double cream with 250 g of sugar and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract until whipped.

Trim the edges of the cake layers for neatness.

Brush each cake layer with syrup, then spread icing on top before stacking the next layer.

Repeat the syrup and icing process for all layers.

Decorate the top and sides with colored coconut and Smarties or M&M's.

Finish with a sprinkle of edible glitter.
