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.

Chocolate Madeleines
  1. Preheat oven to 375 F and grease Madeleine mold generously with cooking spray.
  2. Beat eggs in a a large bowl until frothy. Slowly stream in sugar and mix until just combined, then mix in vanilla.
  3. Sift in flour and cocoa powder, then fold in gently. Pour in melted butter and stir to combine.
  4. Scoop heaping tablespoons of batter into Madeleine mold. Batter may be thickened significantly - don't worry, this is normal. Also, there is no need to smooth down the batter as it will spread out in oven. Bake for 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then flip out onto cooling rack. If madeleines do not immediately release from pan, gently nudge them out with a butter knife. Let cool completely, then dip halfway in white chocolate/Candiquik. Let set for 10 minutes, then decorate with royal icing.
Easy Royal Icing
  1. Whisk together powdered sugar and meringue powder, then mix in water one tablespoon at a time with an electric mixer. Continue adding water until desired consistency is reached (ideally a bit thicker than wet glue, and slightly too thick is better than slightly too thin). Color icing with food color and transfer to piping bags or Ziploc bags.
