Hello Everyone!
I am making 50 funfetti cupcakes this weekend and was hoping for opinions... I HATE the look of jimmies in cake... to me it just looks like someone threw sprinkles into a cake mix, and not like funfetti... I got specific colors of non-pareils and was all ready to get going when I saw someone on here mention that they thought the non-pareils are too small and don't give much color... Has anyone used non-pareils successfully?
You might want to test this first, those non-pareils are hard - is it going to make the cupcake crunchy and less appetizing? I know when I bite into something I'm not expecting to be crunchy and I feel something, I'm always afraid it's my tooth!
I'm curious how they turn out - please let us know!

ATesso, the girl i'm making them for wanted half chocolate half funfetti, so i don't want to add chocolate to her funfetti since i think she was trying to give people a chocoless option :)
Man, bakernoob you weren't kidding... it wasn't even ALMOST instantaneous... it WAS instantaneous! Lol the first batch, I dumped them in and before I even started to stir, they bled and I wound up with completely purple batter after only about three strokes... so I went back with a new batch of batter and dug out my cupcake pen... did a layer in the bottom of each liner, and sprinkled, another layer and sprinkled, golden oreo, sprinkled etc... it seemed to keep the colors contained! They are in the oven now, and I will post a pic when they are done! Thanks so much!

This was the sprinkled batch... much better... I am going to have to use A LOT MORE nonpareils, but now I know the process I need to use!
