4. Add 1 colour into 1 bowl, another colour into another bowl until you get all the desired rainbow colours.
5. Preheat oven to 180C degree.
6. In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites until fluffy, then gradually add in the sugar and whisk until very stiff.
7. Measure the egg white mixture, divide it into 6 equal portions and put them into the colour mixture bowls. (Mine could divide into around 65g for each portion) Gently fold the colour mixture with the egg white.
8. Pour each colour into a baking tin.
9. Bake for 15-20 mins until done. Leave on wiring rack to cool and remove from the baking tin.
10. Whisk whipping cream with sugar until soft peak forms, sandwich each layer with some cream and pipe ruffle laces for decoration.
