Step 1
Slice each pound cake horizontally into two layers, creating four layers total.

Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Divide frosting into three bowls. Tint each with a drop of food coloring (red, yellow, blue).
Step 4
Set first cake layer on a serving plate. Spread red frosting on top, then sprinkle one-third of cereal.
Step 5
Stack second layer, frost with yellow, sprinkle cereal. Repeat with third layer and blue frosting.
Step 6
Top with final cake layer. Frost the outside with remaining white frosting and press cereal pieces around sides.
