"Picture this: You're getting ready for your birthday party at the roller rink. The colored disco lights are shining, almost matching the colorful, patterned carpet. All of your friends are standing around at one of the laminate booths, greeted by none other than a Funfetti cake (or cupcakes). Funfetti is a type of cake that has been cemented into sweet history. It first got its start in the '90s."
"You have to have somewhat of a sweet tooth to tolerate the sugar bomb that is a cake filled with equally sugary sprinkles. However, there are many ways to adapt the Funfetti approach to a whole host of bakes and to give it a more adult spin. For one, instead of pairing a box of Funfetti cake with a super sweet vanilla buttercream, use a chocolate frosting or cream cheese frosting instead. The chocolate will offer a slightly contrasting bittersweet flavor,"
Funfetti originated in 1989 when Pillsbury introduced a cake mix that incorporated sprinkles into the batter rather than using them solely as a garnish. The colorful, speckled cake became a '90s icon and led to other Funfetti-themed products such as Dunkaroos and various frostings. Funfetti mixes remain available today and continue to inspire sprinkle-studded creations. The Funfetti concept can be adapted for adult palates by pairing the batter with less-sweet frostings like chocolate or cream cheese, which add bittersweet contrast or tang. The sprinkle approach can also be applied to elaborate desserts, including a Napoleon cake with mascarpone and puff pastry layers.
