Recipe (makes a three layer 5 inch chocolate cake)
75g brown sugar
50g sugar
40g cocoa powder
90g plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
60g oil
1 egg
1 egg yolk
100g buttermilk (100g milk with 10g of vinegar mixed in)
75g HOT water (added last)

Add vinegar into milk and let sit. (skip this step if you have buttermilk on hand). Sift all dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Add in the wet ingredients EXCEPT FOR THE HOT WATER and mix till well-combined. Then add in hot water and immediately mix the batter. Batter will be thin. Divide batter into 3 pans (around 185g each). Bake at 155°C / 311°F for 25-30 min or until toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached. Cool and level the cake.

Recipe (swiss meringue buttercream)
6 egg whites (around 185g of egg whites)
120g sugar
300g unsalted butter
Vanilla to taste

Steps:
Over a double boiler on the lowest heat, constantly stir egg whites and sugar until mixture becomes hot to touch and sugar has dissolved. Whip on high until stiff peaks form. (stir the bottom of the mixture constantly as the mixer might not reach the bottom and it may look like stiff peaks but in actual fact it is still at soft peaks) Then, gradually add in soften butter and mix until buttercream forms. Add in vanilla and mix on the lowest setting for a few min to remove the air bubbles and create a smoother buttercream. Fill each cake layer with 40g of buttercream, and crumb coat the entire cake with more buttercream (just a thin layer will do)

Divide remaining buttercream into: 235g light pastel purple, 100g pastel beige orange, some for normal purple (around 30g - 40g), 30g of grey, a little for pink and black and yellowish green. Leave the rest white.

I used oil based food colouring. (I used wilton's candy colours) (EDIT: using too much oil based colouring will cause the buttercream to become curdled and liquid so I will advise you to use gel colouring, sorry for the wrong instructions :( )
If you have to use normal food colouring, when mixing in the colours, let it sit for awhile before mixing it more. The colours will darken slow but gradually so do not keep adding in food colouring.

I used Wilton piping tip no. 809, no. 2A and no. 1
