Funfetti Cake and Cupcakes
I know it's been a while since my last post but unfortunately we all got hit with a nasty cold bug here. I am so happy we are all healthy again!
This is of course a birthday cake. I made it for my son's birthday party ( which we held it at a local inflatables play place). I used a box funfetti cake and just added in an extra 1/4 cup of sprinkles for more color.
A homemade, bakery-style buttercream and fondant Lego pieces went on top. The kids didn't realize these weren't real and I had to tell them that, Yes...they could it them!
I also made a small 6-inch cake out of the same batter.
I had a originally planned a completely different cake, but after the week I had this was about all I could muster. And you know what...it was just fine :)
Your deserts and photos are beautiful. I am more of a entrée and main dish person et have been venturing into baking and you are a rue inspiration. What creativity!

So cute! And what a compliment: the fondant legos looked so real the kids were afraid to eat them. ha! :)
