Instructions
Funfetti Cake
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease three 6” cake pans with cooking spray
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Mix in eggs, beating after each addition. Add in vanilla and combine. Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk, beginning and ending with the dry. Fold in sprinkles.
  4. Divide batter between the three pans, then bake for 30-35 min.
No-Spread Sugar Cookies
  1. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
  3. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in two additions. Divide dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate cookie dough for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator or until firm.
  4. Generously flour work surface and roll out cookie dough until 1/4" thick. Cut out desired shapes and transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until bottom of cookies are golden brown.
Royal Icing
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together meringue powder and powdered sugar. Add in 1 1/2 T water and mix with a hand mixer for at least 5 minutes. Add more water as needed and color with food color. For brown icing, use a mix of cocoa powder and orange food color. Without orange food color, icing may look too gray-brown. The orange warms up the color nicely!
White Chocolate Drip
  1. Heat heavy whipping cream in the microwave until it begins to simmer. Spoon in white chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes to melt slightly. Mix until fully incorporated (may need to microwave slightly more). Add white food color if desired, and mix in more melted white chocolate if necessary.

  2. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in eggs, one at at time, until combined. Beat in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add half of dry ingredients to wet and mix to combine. Pour in milk, then continue mixing. Fold in remaining dry ingredients by hand.
  5. Divide batter between three bowls and color as follows: teal, light blue, and purple.
  6. Load batter into a piping bag or Ziploc bag using technique shown in video, or just spoon in the different colors. Pipe batter into donut mold and bake for 15-17 minutes.
Donut Glaze
  1. Mix together powdered sugar and milk until glaze is thick but stir-able. I recommend test-dipping one donut first to see if it drips off the sides too much before dipping all donuts! It can be tricky to judge consistency just by eye.
