They may look a bit complicated to make, but they are actually quite easy. Turns out there are not many ingredients for these colorful confections. All you need is food coloring, Bisquick, Ziplock bags, a waffle iron, and a fun attitude. The only real difference between these waffles and others is the method by which you put your multi-colored waffle batter into the waffle iron -- in a spiral pattern. The chef has paired the DIY rainbow waffles with some whip cream to mimic clouds, and even put a bowl of [Lucky Charms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucky-charms-products) at the end of the rainbow. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **DIY Rainbow Foods:** Opportunity for food and beverage companies to develop innovative food and drinks with vibrant colors and patterns. - **At-home Cooking Experiences:** Opportunity for meal-delivery services to offer DIY meal kits and instructional videos for families to make fun and creative meals at home. - **Childhood Nostalgia Foods:** Opportunity for food and beverage companies to target millennials with childhood favorites, like Lucky Charms and rainbow-colored foods, in new and creative ways. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage Industry:** The food and beverage industry can innovate by offering more colorful, fun and creative food experiences to satisfy customers' craving for fun and excitement. - **Meal Delivery Services:** Meal delivery services have the opportunity to offer at-home cooking experiences that are interactive, fun and engaging for families containing all the ingredients to create colorful, delicious, and Instagrammable dishes. - **Kitchen Appliances Industry:** The kitchen appliances industry can innovate by offering waffle irons and other appliances that create rainbow and creative patterns to encourage people to pursue fun and visually exciting cooking experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Candy-Studded Mini Pancakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funfetti-mini-pancakes.md) - [Dry-Yogurt Based Waffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dry-yogurt-based-waffle.md) - [Car-Crafting Waffle Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cucinapro.md) - [Rainbow Sprinkle Cake Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chromatic-celebration-cake-baking-mix.md) - [Hollow Customizable Waffle Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chefman-big-stuff.md) - [Mini Waffle Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waffle-bite-maker.md) - [90s Snack-Inspired Pancake Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pancake-kit.md) - [Strawberry Pancake Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberries-crme-pancake.md) - [Cookie-Stuffed Belgian Waffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-cookie-crumble-belgian-waffle.md)
