Oh, that Betty—always so ahead of her time! Introduced in 1952, Colorvision Cakes were one year ahead of color TV. Promising “a delicate texture, like that of fine lace,” the new cakes added fruit gelatin to the mix, promising a whole rainbow of new fruity, fluffy, fabulous possibilities. Looking to create a vibrant masterpiece of your own? Check out some of our favorite colorful cakes.
