I've always had a soft spot in my heart for rainbow-tinted desserts.

Something about the visceral and visual energy they bring out of me when I see them on a table or stumble across them on Instagram. Maybe I imagine that a unicorn pooped out these lovely desserts and that somehow brings me back to my childhood? I'm not sure. I like it, and that's all that really matters.

The result of my thought-trailing was a meticulous gathering of the web's best rainbow dessert ideas (I'm sure I missed a few, but feel free to add links and pictures in the comments). Most of these are really easy to recreate, whether you're dropping acid tablets or not (I recommend you don't, professionally):
