Basically a white cake usually 2 or 3 layers but each with a different colored food dye, and the icing would be yet another color! 😄

So let's say - cake layers - orange, yellow, blue and purple frosting!

Haven't thought of those in decades.
What would it more fun/funny if cooking times compatible one lemon cake layer but colored blue!

Anyway, chocolate, carrot, cocconut, or lemon would be my favorites (with chocolate way ahead of the others). Although chocolate coconut combo sounds yummy; I love the Mounds candy bar.

Have fun what you bake! 🎂 👍
