Step 1
Slice the pound cake into 6 thin, even layers using a serrated knife.
Step 2
Pour cold cream into a chilled bowl. Whip with an electric mixer on high until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Whip until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute more.
Step 4
Divide frosting into 6 small bowls. Add one food-coloring drop to each and stir until colors are uniform.
Step 5
Spread one color of frosting onto the first cake layer. Stack the next layer on top and repeat with each color.
Step 6
Frost the top and sides of the stack with any remaining frosting. Sprinkle the top and serve chilled or at room temperature.
