Confetti Cake
Confetti Cake is my little brother's favorite cake. I make it for him every year on February 8th. I prefer chocolate cake over vanilla but this one is so delicious that it actually makes me reconsider every time. I think most kids would enjoy this cake. It's just a very fun looking cake. It screams kiddy in a good way. Imagine walking into an 8-year-old kids birthday party with this cake in one hand and a box of pizza in the other. You may get tackled.
