Funfetti Buttercream Recipe
Yield: 3 Cups
Ingredients:
1 Cup (226g) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 1/2 Cups (420g) powdered sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 Tbsp whole milk, room temperature
1/4 tsp salt, or to taste
1/4 Cup (50g) rainbow sprinkles*
Instructions:
1. With a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter on high until creamy and light (almost white) in color, about 7 minutes.
2. Turn the mixer to low speed and add the powdered sugar one cup at a time, scraping down the bowl and paddle after each addition and making sure each cup is fully incorporated before adding the next one.
3. Add the vanilla, milk, and salt and mix on low for another minute until fully incorporated and smooth. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles with a rubber spatula.
*The best kind of rainbow sprinkles to use will be rod-shaped ones that don’t bleed color. Look for confectioner’s glaze in the ingredients list - this seems to be the common denominator for sprinkles that hold their color in the baking process. My favorite to use are Sprinkle Pop Ultimate Rainbow Jimmies: amzn.to/3afUCGZ

Thank you!! Making this for my daughter’s 5th birthday in a couple days. It’s gorgeous!

Thanks so much for sharing! My toddler has been begging for a sprinkles cake but every time I tried to make one the colour from the sprinkles bled and I ended up with a muddy looking cake. I'll make sure to use your recipe for his 4th birthday 😃😃😃😃

Yay! I'm so excited for you to make this frosting for his birthday! He's gonna love it

Do you recommend using buttercream frosting to layer between the cakes or something else?

[@spoketomyheart5800]

Really? I just made a fingertip cake last night! I’ll use it next time. I used your vanilla buttercream to frost. Turned out delicious and much easier to spread that other butter creams I’ve made. Thanks
