1. Mix blue ingredients in a bowl. Rub with your hands and press out any wet lumps until all it turns into rough sand texture. Repeat the same process for other colors.
2. Sift each of the colored rice flour once.
3. Add 10 cups of water to the bottom of a steamer and bring to a boil.
4. In the mean time, place a wet cloth over the steamer rack and put the cake ring on top. Put the sifted colored rice flour into the ring, one layer at a time. And flatten it out so the mixture sits level.
5. Put the rack into the steamer and steam over high heat for 30 minutes.
