Funfetti Cake Batter Bites
For our wedding, I wanted a vanilla cake with vanilla frosting. The baker made one for us to try, and my feedback was, “Can it be more like a box mix?” Despite understanding a sophisticated taste, there are some things that don’t need any upgrade, and a vanilla cake made out of a boxed mix is one of them. These little batter balls bring that cake mix essence into a one-bite form.
