Birthday Funfetti

Tomorrow is Caleb’s fifth birthday! How did that happen? I can’t believe we are going to have a five year old. I am trying not to think about it. In my eyes, he is still my little baby. He was so little! I love his baby pictures and remember that day like it was yesterday. We are celebrating today with Funfetti Cake. I let Caleb pick his birthday treat and he insisted on having a white cake with lots and lots of sprinkles. He said no chocolate. WHAT? Who’s kid is this? ☺ I granted Caleb his birthday wish and made him a Funfetti Layer Cake with lots of sprinkles. We celebrated early with cake and tomorrow we are having a fun popsicle party with friends. Again, Caleb’s choice, this kid picks all of the fun treats.

How To Make “Confetti” Cake

I love this white cake because it is easy to make and is a good white cake recipe to have in your back pocket. It has a nice crumb, is moist, sturdy, and is good plain or jazzed up. I added sprinkles to make the birthday boy happy, but a plain white cake would be good too! I also used a simple white buttercream to frost the cake, but you could use chocolate frosting, lemon frosting, cookies and cream frosting, strawberry frosting, or whatever frosting your heart desires. I added sprinkles to the batter, in the center of the cake, and on top of the cake because it is a FUNfetti cake. This cake is all about the fun! I used Sweetopolita’s sprinkles because they are the BEST! All of the sprinkles make me so happy! I want them all. If you are looking for a fun cake to make, give this Funfetti Cake a whirl. It is the perfect party cake and is great for any celebration, especially birthdays. Caleb loved his special cake. He said it was the best birthday cake ever. That is a pretty good compliment coming from a FIVE year old.

Happy birthday Caleb! We love you buddy!
