Rainbow Waffles
Rainbow Waffles use a standard waffle mix colored with gels in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. The batter is divided and colored separately, then piped in concentric circles to create a layered rainbow effect. Cooking the waffle allows the colors to set into a vibrant, soft waffle with a visually layered pattern. These waffles serve well with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles, making them appealing for special breakfasts or brunches that emphasize color and fun presentation.
