Why I love this Confetti Cookie Cake:
- It’s incredibly easy to make and tasty too.
- With all the different types of sprinkles available now, it’s super easy to match to your special event.
- It’s also two of my favorite childhood sweets together as one!
What a perfect pairing right? A cookie and a cake put together! When I was younger I always loved getting cookie cakes instead of the typical birthday cake. This Confetti Cookie Cake tastes like something you would have to order from a professional bakery. But lucky you, you now have an awesome recipe to impress your guests and when they ask “where did you get this from” you can say proudly “I made it!” And I’ll leave it up to you if you want to tell them how simple it was to make đ
Tip: Be on the look out for real white chocolate chips! There is a time and place for the fake stuff but no room for it in this recipe. The fake stuff will say something along the lines of “baking chips”. Legit white chocolate chips will have cocoa butter listed in the ingredients section.

I usually like to make everything, down to the cupcake garnishes homemade, especially if I’ve gone through the trouble of making homemade cupcakes, however I find Lovely’s candy very worthy. They are made with real butter, sweetened condensed milk and molasses. No high fructose corn syrup or artificial colors. Just pure and simple ingredients. And that is something I can stand behind.

. The buttercream recipe used here is one that makes incredibly smooth buttercream with no air bubbles. Check out my recipe for White Almond Cake to see a few pictures of the buttercream in the mixing bowl. It will fill it up completely. DO NOT try to make this buttercream with a hand mixer. The frosting must go all the way up the paddle of a KitchenAid 5 quart mixer to keep the air bubbles out.

 run under hot water, then wiped dry. The heat will make the frosting more malleable and easy to spread. Repeat this process until the whole cake has been frosted. Decorate the cake with remaining frosting anyway you’d like. I garnished mine with candied orange peel, Loacker chocolate orange wafers and a little sea salt.
