Okay so technically this cake doesn't have any stars but I thought the title was fitting. This is by far the most surprising cake I have made. From the outside, you would have no idea what is inside. We had some neighbors over when we ate this and they were so shocked-it was a big hit! To explain the process of how to make this is quite confusing so here is a link to have a visual explanation which is a lot easier to understand. Here is the link to the original creator of this cake. You have to see how beautiful hers turned out.

Tips:
1. Make two cake mixes but put into three pans instead of four.
2. Gel/paste food coloring is the way to go. The colors turned out perfect.
2. You have to level off the layers-refer to pictures above, I didn't do such a great job.
3. Cream cheese frosting is soooo.... good on this and covers the colors well.
