Thanks -- definitely a sweeter one too she's a confectionery.

Extraordinaire.

More proof that the Bullock family has plenty of talent to share in her latest book.

Senate Alex sister please just checked Dziena -- Showcases some amazing -- that you can make at home the book is called.

Make it like you mean it had at.

Magazine joins me now with several examples from inside the more you have more good to have you back I -- have so much color on the set today I love this how do you come up with this beautiful sheet cake.

-- six different colors.

Easy.

So this is my favorite yellow cake recipe.

And I do so many things that that I thought I'd love to have a rainbow cake and it saint patty's day coming up I thought would be fabulous to cover with green.

And then you cut into it -- magically delicious it's a rainbow.

And so wander so in this is going to do -- kids to you divide the batter evenly in six portions at.

And you put a little guy in need so you've got the -- the blue the purple.

Just think of the rainbow.

And have the kids stirred up.

And then it's a relatively good batter it's so when you you just have to kind of be good it's straight lines and see I'm not even that -- -- straight lines you can go a little wavy.

Right and then you could ultimately practically you have to cut these segments out and I was asking -- -- -- break.

How do you get them.

To not fall apart when you cut them up and you stack them with frosting in between -- of this is this is your friend -- one of the great things to do is you can freeze a -- for a little bit or refrigerated and that kind of makes a little easier to handle.

And then you just trim your pieces.

You keep the extra pieces that you have -- and I'll show you -- and then you just put a little bit of frosting I -- butter cream you can also use cream cheese frosting which everybody loves.

So you stack it and the best thing to do once you stacked at -- -- down a little.

Is you -- and you refrigerator for a little -- okay right -- -- this looks old traditional stacking and then she thought artists you flip it and you've got vertical layers.

And this is my favorite part is that you have your extra pieces of cake and you put it in that in the oven -- 200.

And then you dry out cake and then you put it in your Paul Reiser in your processor and is what I call Muppet dust.

So that's what goes on top that's what goes on OK so and then we would frost this in a perfect world where we -- -- lot more time and you put a little I I cut out little.

Clothes first.

Here I did a chocolate cake with the same technique and -- did zebra stripes and this is so incredibly easy so you take a piece of parchment and he's just rip little strips like this.

And you make sense that -- can get any shape that you would want -- tell you get the designs on -- he had this does little more cutting but this one is -- strips and you frosted.

And then you lay out over the frosting and you for your -- -- dust or your chocolate dust on top.

And this is the same batter that I used here and in this when you have the clover inside and you bake a little green cake until it's barely done.

You stamp it out and then you put it in the batter in a little Angel food.

-- creative and it's so exciting your brand new book before before you leave you have to tell me what -- -- these are -- contraption which is German it's actually just -- like jelly -- easy.
