Mini Funfetti Cake Stacks
The cutest Confetti Cake Recipe Funfetti cake / confetti cake is the epitome of celebration cake!

miniature wacky cake cupcakes
tiny food is fun! Have you ever heard of wacky cake? It’s an older recipe, created when dairy wasn’t readily available. Wacky cake has no eggs, no butter, nada. Weird, right? That’s why it’s “wacky” … that, and the fact that you mix everything in one pan before you bake it. Obviously it’s super easy, […]
