Sprinkle Cake

The cake is often the most important part of any event, party, or dessert experience, so when creating the Sprinkle Cake we knew we had to make a cake as colorful as the rest of the Sprinkles Experience. Usually, when it comes to baking, a little dab will do you. But when it comes to the Sprinkle Cake, all bets are off, at least when it comes to the sprinkles. The Sprinkle Cake is caked (we couldn't resist) with sprinkles from head to toe. And since this cake can be created using any flavors, fillings, and frostings, any and all birthday boys and birthday girls can get their preferred custom combination in a colorful confection that fits perfectly into the Sprinkles Experience.

Tips

For The Sprinkle Cake

If you are new to cake decorating and want to learn the basics, check out Joshua John Russell's Free Modern Buttercream Class on Craftsy. It's perfect for those who want to try their hand at some cake creations of their own

To get a better idea of putting together your own Sprinkle Cake, you can check out The Cake Blog's Sprinkle Cake Tutorial

Smoothing out the frosting is a MUST to ensure the sprinkles are all level. If you don't have one already, look into getting a scraper - it will be a lifesaver when it comes to smoothing out frosting

Always have more sprinkles than you think you need. We used a couple bottles of Rainbow Jimmies Sprinkles for our cake

Presentation

Ideas For The Sprinkle Cake

We used a basic white square cake stand for our Sprinkle Cake. Check out Sur La Table, Pottery Barn, or Sarah's Stands for your stand. All offer an assortment of cake stands for you to choose from

A simple printable dessert label can go a long way to completing the presentation. We offer free printable dessert labels, along with the rest of the Sprinkles Experience Printables, that you can download here. We recommend using cover weight paper which you can find at Paper-Source. We usually use pure white, but feel free to choose a color that works for you
