Increase speed to high and beat well until very pale and creamy, at least 5 minutes. Using an electric mixer on low speed, beat sugar and butter in a large bowl until blended.Mix milk and vanilla together in a measuring jug. Combine flour and baking powder in a medium bowl and set aside.Line the base of the tins with baking paper. Preheat oven to 180☌ (350☏) and grease three 15cm (6 inch) (or 18cm (7 inch), cake will be shorter) round cake tins.I love how the swirling icing matches the lollipops so that it kinda looks like the lollipops are melting all over the cake. And there's rainbows and lollies and popping candy. This cake is exactly the type kind of cake I like to bake because it's so impressive looking but is actually relatively straight-forward to make. I'm also a big fan of Katherine Sabbath (if you're not following her on instagram, you should be) and remembered her gorgeous lollipop-covered cake and realised that rainbow lollipops would be the perfect topper for this particular cake. I decided it would be a perfect idea for this cake since last year I put a rainbow inside the cake, and this time I would put a rainbow on the outside. I came across this visually stunning but seriously simple decorating technique from Hungry Happenings and immediately loved it. I looked to the internets for inspiration in my time of need. I've been in a creative baking rut for a while now, and I keep having to force myself out of it. But this year I was completely out of ideas.
