    About Confetti Cake

    Confetti cake is a sort of cake that is prepared with rainbow coloured sprinkles. The rainbow sprinkles melt into vivid colour dots that resemble confetti when baked, hence the name confetti cake.

    Confetti cake is a buttery vanilla cake covered with vanilla buttercream and sprinkles throughout the batter. When the Pillsbury Company introduced a new style of cake dubbed Funfetti cake in 1989, a combination of fun and confetti, the cake was born. This cake was made with a white cake mix and multicoloured sprinkles. The cakes distinct appearance was intended to appeal to children. The cake quickly gained popularity, and by 1990, it was the most popular cake in the world.

    Confetti cake is nothing but vanilla sponge cake with sprinkles in them..It has only egg whites so the cake turns out to be white and the taste is much more lighter and subtle. 

    Ingredients for Confetti Birthday cake

    Egg Whites : For maximum fluffy softness,  this recipe calls for a lot of egg whites (no egg yolks). With an electric hand mixer, whip them until stiff peaks form (that is, when you take a whisk straight out of the whites, the peaks stay and don't collapse back into themselves), then fold them into the cake batter with a spatula.

    Milk : Milk hydrates the dry ingredients, dissolves the sugar, and aids the baking powder in producing carbon dioxide, which helps the cake rise.

    Sprinkles  : Use the little cylinders of standard rainbow sprinkles. If you use nonpareil sprinkles (the little small dots), the colour will seep into the cake, turning it greyish. If the sprinkles are too large or chunky, they will not melt into the cake properly.
