Homemade Funfetti Cupcakes

No birthday is complete without this classic cake! Funfetti, also known as confetti cake, is a light and moist yellow cake base that is sprinkled with colorful candies. Once baked
you have a rainbow sprinkle effect throughout the cake that makes it the perfect way to celebrate! Top with my classic vanilla buttercream for the perfect flavor combination.
