Literally the best cake mix in a box. The concept is simple: vanilla cake mix with sprinkles in the batter.
Personally, I like to just eat the cake batter.
Taking the time to actually cook it requires patience, none of which I have. The sprinkles are crunchy, the gooey batter- delicious. Complete with raw eggs- salmonella is the last thing I am worried about... Sitting down with a spoon and a bowl full of funfetti cake batter can complete any Saturday afternoon.
However, on the rare occasion when I do take the time to actually bake the batter, the outcome is glorious. The fluffiest and most delicious looking delicacy on the face of the planet. Topped with frosting, this cake can cure any disease, malady, or horrid mood. It's a journey back to childhood coupled with an explosion of flavors, a symphony of taste in your mouth.
So, on those days like today ,when the clouds roll in and the rain cascades down from the heavens, blanketing everything in the soggy moistness of water, bust out the Funfetti and Mulan. Your day will turn around in no time...

I hope you abide by the unwritten Funfetti rule: When frosting the cake/cupcakes/etc, you must use pre-made frosting. Preferably Duncan Hines Vanilla.
ReplyDeleteI'm ALL about the Funfetti frosting. Comes with sprinkles.
ReplyDeleteA girl in my American Lit class wants to make me a Funfetti cake. She often prances around campus while wearing a velvet cape and a headband with Shrek ears. It's kind of weighing down my love of Funfetti cake.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like a nut. Before eating that cake, please check it for used syringes, razor blades, and psychoactive drugs. I would hate for anything to happen to a dedicated FlyHunniez reader.
ReplyDeleteBRIGID! You should somehow make a Funfetti rainbow cake hybrid!
ReplyDeleteDAMIELLE! you are SO right. also, i think i'm going to make cookies on saturday.
ReplyDeleteI hope not funfetti cookies because I have never had a positive experience with those. Somethings should remain in cake form.
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of the funfetti frosting as well, Brigid. D Bade- you have no idea what you are talking about.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately a growing trend is sabotage of funfetti cakes around the nation. A once unheard of act, this shocking trend is on the rise. It would be no surprise if a velvet caped Shrek ear'd person tampered with a funfetti cake. Beware.
Thanks for the post! It made me smile :)
