- Evenly divide the batter between two round cake pans and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
- Carefully level the top of the cakes for a smooth surface, and then cut them both in half.
- Make the buttercream frosting, divide into three separate bowls, and dye each one a different color with food coloring. Spread the first color over the bottom cake layer.
- Lay the second cake layer on top of the buttercream frosting and continue with the next color.
- Once you have 4 cake layers and 3 buttercream frosting layers, make the outer layer frosting and spread it evenly over the entire cake, making sure to spread an especially thick layer over the top.
- Sort your gummy bears by color and firmly press them into the frosting. Arrange them in a fun rainbow effect.
- Add a bunch of gummy bears to the top of the cake for the crowning glory. Chill the cake before serving to help the gummy bears set.
