Including indigo AND violet.

Cakes are a celebratory food, so it only makes sense that we sometimes bake them in vibrant shades of red, yellow and blue. But is there a way to make beautiful, eye-catching cakes without food coloring?

Check out these naturally vibrant cakes -- one for every color of the rainbow (including indigo and violet):
