If someone were to ask your favorite cake flavor, you might be a bit sheepish to eagerly shout “funfetti!” Our sprinkled friend is certainly not the most prestigious of confections. Although I am not sure why! Boxed stuffed gives it a bad rap, so people are a bit mystified when they hear that one can make a homemade funfetti. It’s quite simple! All about the sprinkles. And here is the vanilla buttercream frosting I used that is quite a compliment generator.
