I think I have seen all your videos. I am a stay at home mom and knew nothing about baking. I am now making an income through cake orders. I have learnt a lot if not everything in your videos. Thank you very much for sharing. You are a blessing Liz.
Looks so good! 😍 here in Sweden the most basic birthday cake flavour is raspberry jam and vanilla custard from a box with storebought cake bases. And the cake is always frosted with wipped cream. I was so over this so I started making my own cakes when I was 13 😅
@@anasherman I’d say the buttercream was sweet, but not gritty sweet. It wasn’t overly stiff at room temperature. If cakes like this are refrigerated more than a day I find it takes a couple of hours to really get to a nice soft cake texture and get a creamy feel to the frosting though. Using heavy cream and not milk in American buttercream gives me consistent good results
My Mom used to buy an Entenmann's cake with plastic Santa 🎅 on it. & then b4 she put the candles on... she'd TAKE off the Santa face. (Makes sense.... cuz we don't celebrate Xmas.) Now... I MAKE My own! (Usually chocolate.... & sometimes a really good Vanilla. Depending on my mood) Thanks 4 ALL u'r delicious 😋 recipes!!
My go to bday cake was always funfetti cake with rainbow chip icing. If you never had store bought rainbow chip, you’re missing out. Betty Crocker actually quit making it at one point and was petitioned to bring it back…and they did!!! Yay!
😂😂😂😂 This video is awesome 👍 I always liked funfetti with the rainbow chip tub frosting. I can't find those little rainbow chips anywhere anymore but....I miss them. 😔
Thank you so much!! Tried this right after viewing the video...honestly it's the best funfetti recipe I've tried!!!! Thank you for sharing... helping us home bakers/small businesses achieve greatness!
Growing up my mom would make me a funfetti angel food cake covered in 7-minute frosting she had died pink. No sprinkles on the outside so it was a surprise when you cut into the cake. It was so pretty and delicious and sweet. Just how I like my cake. I might have to make one for nostalgia sake. Happy baking. 💗
My birthday cakes would be either a classic chocolate with fudge frosting, red velvet, or a marble cake with fudge frosting. I’m not a funfetti fan, but it’s my hubby’s birthday cake of choice.
Oh, growing up in Chile, we were in a dictatorship. There was like very few options. We had our own Oreo version though, "Galletas Tritón". My mum opened them, dunk them in milk and Pisco (never to young for hidden booze) and made a cake by layering them with whipped cream (since it was south Chile, deep in the country's south, we never lacked milk products). To this day I still make it just for the nostalgia.
1970's birthday cake was naked without the hard sugar decorations you get at the grocery store. We got to pick the decorations. My dad always had pineapple upside down cake. My oldest brother had pumpkin pie (October birthday), youngest had Lemon Merengue pie. Once I asked for gingerbread cookies for my birthday (in August). I got a cake with ginger bread sugar decorations on it. No idea where my mom found them. p.s. Love the highlights! So fun for Spring! 💕
Hello Liz ☺️ I have a question, what if umwe have the Xanthan gum but not the soy lecithinshould we include the gum? Also I love all your recipes that I’ve made so far. Thank you for enriching all our baking lives ❤️
I tried your recipe to surprise a friend on her 30s.. While she wasn't able to appreciate this cake as much as I hope, I got soooo many compliments from her guest. And I mean "did u make this?" "U made this yourself?" "Soo good!". And I agree, the flavour is fantastic! And can I please get a Tap on the shoulder for having managed to get this cake into the club in one piece in the middle of London summer '22 (40°C)?!! Hola to the most sensible uber driver and his working air con xxx thanks to the waitress who shoulders me from Massen of dancing folks in order to deliver to the birthday child:)))
I’ve never heard of funfetti cake. But I’m not fan of super sweet desserts. I find most North American desserts are on sugar overload, so I reduce the sugar in almost everything I bake, which doesn’t seem to negatively impact the quality of the dessert. Nonetheless, I love your channel and your personality. I’m always learning something new. Thanks Liz
This cake looks like heaven. 😍😍😍And those are jimmies 😂. Not gonna lie Liz, I’m just gonna do your boxed cake hack and add more sprinkles bc this recipe is way beyond my pay grade lmao.
Liz, this is awesome!! I can’t wait to make this cake for clients!! Question…why is the “cake batter calculator” not showing on the page? Need that to alter cake sizes. HELP!
For a german cake I bake, called Ameisenkuchen, or "ant cake", you use the long chocolate (color) sprinkles. They are the only ones that melt just right. I am half half, so back in Chile I tried to make it and used the small dots and they just made the batter brown. So I can relate to the principle.
looks so yummy and i'm planning to do this for my birthday tomw. However, i only have xanthan gum and i can't find the soy lecithin, should i o 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum or just replace them by reducing the butter milk , thank you :)
Why have i never had this cake before 🙁 but defo giving this a go 😊 Wee question will you be doing a video on the new acrylic gloss technique thats trending i'd love to be able to wow the family with that 😊
Growing up, my Mom made a chocolate cake from the 1950’s Sunbeam mixmaster book. I’m still making this cake today, but I tweaked the recipe. Add dark expresso coffee in place of water and melted dark & milk chocolate. Everyone in family asks for this 🍰 cake.
Hey liz ! I love your videos and am wanting to get more into baking cakes. Chocolate is my personal fav and I wanted to ask if you think I should make your easy choc cake or death by choc cake ! both look yum
Hello Liz,greetings from Nigeria and a beautiful funfetti cake you have there but my questions are 1:Can I use Lorann jelly like soy lecithin since I couldn’t find the powder lecithin? 2:When you said bob’s gluten free,Do you mean bob’s gluten free 1 To 1 baking flour the one with light blue pack?
German chocolate with homemade coconut pecan frosting has always been my favorite cake ever since I was a kid. I do not like frosting except for coconut pecan or cream cheese frosting on carrot cake.
What would you say is the best brand of butter to use for frosting? And it would always be chocolate cake with caramel topping😍😭Up to this day, it is still one of my absolute favourite😍
Omg looks sooo delicious and moist!! What brand clear vanilla extract do you use i tried one before and it tasted so bad obviously need a better brand lol
lovely,please can I use Lorann butter Emulsion or Lorann Butter Vanilla in place of your Butter Extract? Which is the best substitute for your Butter Extract?
I am wanting to make a egg-shaped cake that stands up, I will have to trim off a little of the bottom so it can sit on the cake board. Is this funfetti recipe durable enough for this cake? I just think it will be so cute to cut into it and there be funfetti. Thanks.
I am making this soon, is there someone in your team that could add a link to the soy lecithin? Because I can only find it in the supplements store and I don’t know if that’s the right one.
Hi, Liz, Recently found this and made delicious cupcakes using your recipe! :-) My husband's birthday is in 2 days, and he wants the funfetti cake, so I'll give it a try. I do have a question, though. When I went to buy more butter extract, they only had "butter emulsion", which I bought. The descriptions say that this is a more intense butter flavor than extract is. Will it still have that "nostalgic" taste, or should I only use the extract? Thanks!
So just to be sure..... If I was making your recipe in cupcakes I would use 60grams of oil?🤔 About how many cupcakes would this recipe make? And would u recommend vegetable oil or olive oil instead of canola?.... can u substitute?😬 Hope u could help. I really would love to make my daughter's class easter cupcakes next week. TIA❤❤
How tall does the cake end up being? I plan to make this cake soon for my baby’s first birthday and I want to buy a box to carry it in. I just need to know what size box to purchase

So glad reverse creaming is getting its well-deserved credit since Rose Levy Beranbaum's era.
Your tiny food videos are a joy to watch 🌟 The detail and precision in each tiny dish are truly impressive and captivating 👏
I made this tonight OMGGGG that’s all I have to say!!! Thank you for always providing the best recipes
So glad you liked it!!
Did you used the 2 different powders ? Or fix the buttermilk?
Wondering the same. I only have one of those ingredients @PaolaLandino

I love this cake. I made it with red and green sprinkles for Christmas. It was a hit!
Was the buttercream stiff and sweet? I love her easy buttercream and I love it’s not sweet. I made the Oreo one but it was too sweet

@@anasherman I hope you like it! Don’t hesitate to add a little more cream if it seems stiff. This is my secret :)

Such great baking info. Always satisfying the child withins palette.

Omg I was just getting ready to test some recipes now I just have your to use!!! Love this liz!
Oh, growing up in Chile, we were in a dictatorship. There was like very few options. We had our own Oreo version though, "Galletas Tritón".

Perfect timing! My kiddos birthday is Monday, and he wants a funfetti cake.
Banana cake! I had it growing up and I still have it for every birthday now. So good!
Good job
Instructions were exactly what I needed
Thank you 🎉
FUNFETTI is literally my favorite cake flavor thanks Liz!
Yay! Hope you like the recipe ❤️
1970's birthday cake was naked without the hard sugar decorations you get at the grocery store. We got to pick the decorations.

Yummy!! (And thank you! 🥰)
What if I have zanthem gum but no soy lecithin?
Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Growing up we always had lemon or strawberry cake for birthdays.
I was born on Valentine's Day and always got a homemade red velvet cake on my birthday -- but this looks amazing!
Yum!
Love your recipes. Thanks for sharing them.
You are the BEST! Thanks for sharing your recipes with us 💞💖💕💗
Looks so yummo!! I'm so old they didn't have funfetti cake when I was a child. :)
Liz! Please do a box cake hack for this one.
Yum! Looks delicious and beautiful! I always had Strawberry cake with strawberry frosting for my birthday cakes.
This would make a great Easter themed cake 🙂
Hi this cake looks delicious but which one is better your old funfetti cake or this new recipe?

Did you use the soy lecithin and xanthum gum?
If you don’t mind me asking, why didn’t she enjoy it as much?
My childhood fave was a Baskin Robbins ice cream cake!
Yum I loved those!
So pretty.
Stunning and amazing 👏 💯👌😋
I made your other funfetti a week ago! I guess I need to try this one to compare 😁
Omg, looks delicious!!!😋👍
I totally love how you said "fake butter flavour" with so much conviction.. XD XD XD
im Mexican so we always had tres leches cake with peach & strawberry filling!

Is there any reason adding sprinkles to the vanilla or white cake recipe wouldn't work? Why is this better? Thank you!
Aw man! I missed the first 15 minutes of the premiere! Guess I'll watch it tomorrow :(
My birth month is February so I always asked for a heart shaped vanilla cake, vanilla frosting and red roses and borders.
I've never used soy lecithin before. Which one do you recommend? Thank you!
Hello. Do you wrap the warm cake in saran wrap and put in freezer for 1 hr after cooling in pan for 10 min? Thank you
Your vids are stupendous and very informative

@@SugarGeekShow excellent. Thank you very much💕I love your channel. I've made your cheesecake and gotten excellent reviews😍
Looks so delicious, I have to make this cake soon. Could this amount of buttercream frost 36 cupcakes?
Will this recipe remain the same if I use powdered buttermilk ? It’s the kind that you mix with water then add to the recipe.
Omg looks sooo delicious and moist!! What brand clear vanilla extract do you use i tried one before and it tasted so bad obviously need a better brand lol
I will do it 👍
Looks delicious! About how many people would this cake serve?
Looks so yummy
Hi Liz can u pls do en episode on how to dip marshmallows in chocolate using Ghirardelli melting wafers pls
Red velvet was my birthday cake and still is… 🥰
It's beautiful

About how many cupcakes would this recipe make?
And would u recommend vegetable oil or olive oil instead of canola?.... can u substitute?😬
Hope u could help. I really would love to make my daughter's class easter cupcakes next week. TIA❤❤
Can this cake stand up under fondant as in a 2 tiered fondant cake
Liz, can't I just add sprinkles to your vanilla cake recipe? It's my go-to recipe.
How tall does the cake end up being? I plan to make this cake soon for my baby’s first birthday and I want to buy a box to carry it in. I just need to know what size box to purchase
