The Joan's Rainbow Cake has a very interesting backstory to it. The story goes like this " There was once a French lady name Juan waiting for her lover to come back from war. On the first day of her wait she makes a strawberry cake. However, he does not come that day. Hoping he will come the next day; she makes an orange cake. Again, he does not show up. On the third day she made a pistachio cake but like the other days he does not show up again. She went to bed disappointed that night but, to her surprise her lover came to her with a box of chocolates the next morning. Overjoyed, she combines all the cakes into one cake using whipping cream and melted the chocolates that her lover gave her and poured it on top of the cake. They ate it together in celebration of his return and their never-ending love.
