Mother’s Day can start to lose some of its sparkle after years of cards and chocolates, so why not liven up this year’s celebrations with some wildly colourful funfetti baking!
The original Funfetti was a white cake mix made by Pillsbury that looked as if it’s been sprinkled with coloured confetti. However since the craze took off innovative bakers, particularly in the USA, have been putting their own spin on an old classic by adding coloured discs and sprinkles into their cakes and bakes.
Kids and adults alike love the rainbow-coloured treats, and they taste amazing too. We’ve trawled the web for some of the best funfetti ideas and recipes out there, so you can add a little extra fun to this year’s Mother’s Day celebration, whether baking with children or making a colourful treat for the main lady in your life.
