Seeing a beautiful rainbow after a storm is always a thrill, and my brother was delighted with his colorful sherbet dessert. Served along with the birthday cake, it put a refreshing finishing touch on the climate-conscious menu. -Ndara Pike, Tempe, Arizona

The only change I made was to make the rainbow more true to life by putting red on the outside, then orange, then yellow, and green in the center, adjusting the amounts of sherbet accordingly.
