Turned out great! I made it into a cupcake and frosted it with white and dark chocolate to really make it into a zebra print. Everyone thought it was so fashionably fierce. Yummy too! Here's how it turned out: http://instagr.am/p/NVkHGhwDv6/

I made this in a loaf tin and it turned out great, but the layer thing wasn't working too great for me so i just kept drizzling the two mixes in layers and got a great pattern, you have tons of great guides and you deserved this new follower!

Very cool :-) I was thinking about doing some kind of cake last night but trying to lose weight so im waiting til my dads bday Aug. 5th lol i did something like this a few months ago but used a white cake mix seperated it into 2 parts used orange dye & flavored extract in 1 half & the other used lemon extract but a light green dye cuz I wanted it to kinda pop. But layered it like this but instead of frosting it I made a fruit salad topping of cut up strawberries bananas & kiwi w a lil sugar and had that as something different but it was so good! Same idea though :-) it was so pretty & springy looking lol
