Hi, Everyone,

I have a bride who wants 'funfetti' cake and frosting. icon_rolleyes.gif I have talked her our of funfetti icing and will add sprinkles to the top of the cakes after they are iced. However, I do not wish to buy and doctor Pillsbury cakes. I am thinking that I can add sprinkles to any light colored batter and will get 'funfetti'. Is this true? icon_lol.gif

I tried the box mix and it sucked. Make sure you try it before the final.... the frosting fell off the sides and the cake crumbled.... I think it was due to the stinky sprinkles. Maybe if you tried the colored non perils it wouldn't effect it so much.

That's so cool because you can cusomize the "confetti". If her colors are yellow & purple you could do just those colors mixed in the cake. That way, they know you don't use a mix AND you've make something super personalized just for her!

OMG! why didn't I think of that! I've just been using the multicolored ones. That's a great idea icon_biggrin.gif

Thanks for the input. My bride's colors are teal and burgundy--not sure that teal and burgundy spots would look very appetizing in the cake. icon_cry.gif I think I'll go with a nice pastel mix. thumbs_up.gif

and what's wrong w/ a light blue/green and deep red on a white background.....

other than it might look more like a 4th of July cake!!!!!

(ok, my catty comment for the day!)


(where or where do these brides come up w/ these crazy color combinations?!?!?!? this is just one of several (like the brown and pastel orange????? ick!) i've seen lately!!)


just have to repeat after me:

it's all about her
it's her day
so, I'll do it her way

(but thinking --> OY!)
