Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray the cake pans with Pam baking spray.
Using a standing mixer, beat together the cake mix, eggs, milk, and butter until combined and smooth.
Beat in 3-5 drops of pink food coloring and mix until combined. Add in a few more drops if the pink isn’t the bright shade you would like.
Divide the batter evenly between the 3 cake pans and bake in the oven for 3-40 minutes or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely.
Remove cakes from cake pans; using the cake leveler, remove the tops of the cakes to even them out.

Mix in a few drops of the neon blue food coloring until combined.
Scoop about 1 C of frosting into the piping bag.
Using the ice cream scooper, scoop out 5 scoops of frosting onto the cake round that’s on the cake board.
Using the angled spatula, spread evenly.
Place another cake round on top of the first.
Scoop more frosting onto the second cake round and spread evenly.
Place the last cake round on top of the second layer of frosting.
