"Funfetti is one iconic dessert every '90s kid remembers - and it lives up to its name to this day, with colorful sprinkles that brighten each bite of moist cake. The sprinkles are cheerful visuals and bring a slight crunch to contrast the bouncy cake crumb. Unfortunately, the sprinkles are the downfall to Funfetti's boxed strawberry cake mix. Tasting Table's taste tester tried and ranked five strawberry cake mixes according to flavor and texture, and the Funfetti strawberry cake mix was by far the worst."
"The sprinkles don't bring anything to the table flavor wise, so they didn't interfere with any of the cake mixes' strawberry flavor. But both the visual and textural appeal that defines Funfetti were lost in Funfetti's strawberry cake mix. While the vibrant pinks, blues, reds, and greens shine through a yellow or white cake crumb, the pink crumb turned these colors into various shades of brown."
A taste test ranked five boxed strawberry cake mixes by flavor and texture and found Funfetti's mix to be the worst. The mix's sprinkles failed to contribute flavor, appeared sparse, unevenly distributed, and turned brown within the pink crumb. The sprinkles also had a grainy, dried texture described as like biting into uncooked flour pockets. The strawberry flavor registered as artificial or absent in many reviews, with some comparing the aroma to an air freshener. Pillsbury's strawberry mix delivered the preferred bright strawberry flavor and a moist, spongy crumb without grainy crunch.
