Rainbow Brite Sweets

Last week, we revisited this classic Sweet Tooth post that was full of a spectrum of desserts. After the cold, rainy day that plagued Minneapolis yesterday, I was in the mood for a little more rainbow-y goodness. My search resulted in a crown jewel cake and spiral cookies by Sprinkle Bakes. I've never seen a cake quite like this before.

Crown jewel cake can feature as many colors as you choose. Simply color unflavored gelatin to match your party's theme. I like how the sprinkles are dusted on the tabletop like edible confetti. It's so festive (and inexpensive).

A cake as colorful as the crown jewel needs an equally vibrant counterpart. These colorful spiral cookies are perfect.

Both of these colorful desserts helped brighten what was a dreary, grey day. They both just seem so, well, fun. There's nothing stodgy or serious about them. 

Have you seen a jewel cake like this before?
