Homemade funfetti cake with lime green buttercream! Top the cake with a DIY balloon cake topper! WOAH there!!

Say hello to this lime green funfetti cake! This is definitely one fun cake and it would have been perfect to share on my birthday last week, but homemade buster bars won that battle. As much as I love sharing cake recipes, if I’m the birthday girl and I get to pick dessert, I’m picking ice cream :)

BUT I’m a big believer in celebrating your entire birthday month, so this cake is arriving just in time for the party. Happy birthday to all the other july babies out there!

Homemade funfetti cake with lime green buttercream! I can’t decide which part I like best.. the lime green buttercream or the cute purple balloons on top. If we’re being real, this cake kind of just came together in some magical way. I’m not great at making story boards for my shoots (i.e. planning everything out in advance), so things usually come together as I am literally assembling the cake.

Homemade funfetti cake with lime green buttercream! For this cake, after I piped the shell border and added the sprinkles I knew I wanted to put a topper on the cake. (Who can resist a cake topper? Not me! Just wait. We have more cake recipes coming with more cake toppers!) So I was digging through my craft supplies looking for something to top this cake and I found purple water balloons. I rigged up my own balloon cake topper using 4 water balloons, tape, and a tooth pick. Talk about last minute DIYing :)

It could be fun to cover the balloons in sprinkles or sequins the next time I pull them out. I mean, can a cake ever have too much pizzazz? I don’t think so, and neither does Katherine Sabbath. Just look at Katherine’s Instagram!

You’ll want to use jimmies sprinkles for inside the cake. Those are the long skinny ones. The small circular ball sprinkles (aka non pareils) can bleed when you bake them. For decorating the outside of the cake I used confetti sprinkles. Wheew! That was our lesson for the day about the different types of sprinkles.
