My little pony cake

Im soooo proud of my latest creation. It's a birthday cake for my beautiful goddaughter who's a big fan of My little ponies.
The sponge on this cake was a rainbow coloured. It required baking each of the six layers separately, which had me almost give up on it after the fourth one! I used the gel food colouring for all but red layer which I went for the liquid colouring as it was the only one I had. In retrospect I should have gone for the gel as the baked cake turned out brownish rather than red :(
The decorations were challenging and exciting to make. I used some dried spaghetti to help stabilise the pony and rainbow. I made them a few days ahead so the were a bit drier and more sturdy when I attached the to the cake.
Hope you like it!
