I made this cake for Julia, who not only had a baby recently (check out the baby shower cake I made for her
here) but was also celebrating a milestone birthday. I wanted the cake to be something happy, blissful and festive. I think a
Confetti Cake checks all the boxes. The rainbow of colors can't help but bring cheer to any occasion, no?
Julia's favorite cake is carrot with cream cheese frosting so I turned to weelicious' awesome recipe. It's the easiest thing to make and tastes fantastic! For the cream cheese frosting I turned to my absolute favorite one from Cook's Country which uses a boiled milk paste. Trust me when I tell you it's AMAZING and probably unlike any cream cheese frosting you've had before...super light, fluffy and not too sweet.
The best thing about this cake is how easy it is to decorate. Once you fill and frost the cake just press the confetti sprinkles to the sides. This technique hides a myriad of mistakes so you don't need to be a master decorator at all to get fantastic looking results. Give it a try, you'll see!
