  3. Spray the inside of each jar thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

  5. Tint each bowl of cake batter with the food coloring until very vibrant.

  6. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the purple batter into the bottom of each jar.

  7. Spoon equal amounts of turquoise batter, then green, yellow, and pink.
