    Instructions

    1
    |
    Preheat the oven to 350°F, and grease a 9×13 cake pan. Prepare the cake mix according to package directions.
    2
    |
    Divide the mixture between 4 small bowls, and add 2 drops of food coloring to each bowl. Stir well to mix the color. (You should have 1 bowl of each color).
    3
    |
    Add the batter to pastry bags, or use a spoon to add the batter to the pan. You’re going to do rows of colors, alternating the colors in each row. We did 5 rows, but you could do more, or less, depending on how you want the cake to look.
    4
    |
    Transfer the pan to the oven, and bake according to package directions (we did 25 minutes), or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven.
    5
    |
    Use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake, about 1 inch apart. Prepare one box of pudding with 2 cups of milk in a medium bowl, and whisk for 2 minutes. Pour over cake, spreading it into the holes, and evenly on top of the cake.
    6
    |
    Refrigerate for 1 hour. After 1 hour, prepare the next box of pudding with the remaining 2 cups of milk, and whisk for 2 minutes. Fold in the whipped topping, and spread over the cake.
    7
    |
    Add half the sprinkles all over the cake and refrigerate for 2 hours. The sprinkles will dissolve a bit due to the moisture, but that’s ok because it’s what makes it colorful. Just add some more sprinkles right before cutting.

    |
    Cut the cake into 12 slices (or more if you want smaller pieces), and enjoy!
