Birthday Cake Sprinkles

Don't just add these birthday cake sprinkles to the top; why not add them to the batter to create a funfetti cake for a special occasion or birthday?

Is funfetti cake just vanilla with sprinkles?

A funfetti cake is vanilla with colourful sprinkles mixed directly into the cake batter. As the cake bakes, the sprinkles melt slightly, creating small, bright bursts of colour throughout the cake. You get a confetti-like appearance, hence the name "funfetti".

The cake is usually light, fluffy and sweet, while the funfetti sprinkles add a pop of colour and a slight sugary crunch. The cake is then topped with vanilla buttercream, and it's the perfect cake for birthday parties where you want a fun, playful centrepiece.
