I’m embarrasingly into rainbow recipes lately. I’m a middle-aged mom who bakes gluten-free rainbow cupcakes, makes rainbow jello molds and rainbow crispy treats – for myself! All my kids are taller than me now, so all the multi-colored yum is mine all mine.

Here’s the ROY G Business: a roundup of the best rainbow recipes for snacks, drinks (shots, cocktails and mocktails) and baked goods suitable for a birthday party, Pride celebrations or just because it’s Wednesday.
Rainbow recipes
Unicorn Poop Meringue Cookies
I've seen quite a few poop recipes, and this one is by far the most magical. Kids love gross food, so just go with it.
Italian Rainbow Cookies
Perhaps these aren't the full spectum of the rainbow, but some slight adjustments can make these in any colors you like. As is, they are a great Christmas cookie or treat for Cinco de Mayo. Make two green layers for St. Patrick's Day or two red levels for Valentine's Day. So versatile!
Jello Shot Cake
This Jello shot cake is a real showstopper. This one is for adult parties only since it contails alcohol, but you can make it with just water if you'd like to share it with everyone.
Rainbow Lemon Cheesecake Bars
If you rainbow cakes or cupcakes just won't do, mix it up with these swirly, twirly rainbow cheesecake bars. Like the Italian Rainbow cookies, you can switch up the colors and the shades to make it a good fit for any holiday or party theme.
The recipe creator Meghan says Rainbow Lemon Cheesecake Bars are simple to make with just a handful of everyday ingredients. Sweet and creamy with a citrus zing.
