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 :)
