Radiant Rainbow Sprinkle Cakes

Learn to Make the Purple Ombre Sprinkles Cake for Yourself

— November 20, 2011 — Lifestyle
This Purple Ombre Sprinkles Cake featured on food blog Raspberri Cupcakes will speak to your inner child with its deliciously playful use of color, and, oh yes, sprinkles! Steph, avid baker and writer of the blog, created this salted buttercream cake to inspire her to get excited about her upcoming birthday, and to see if she could pull of the the various layers of a purple gradient on the cake’s interior. 

Masterfully perfecting the task, Steph shares the recipe and her personal experience behind the efforts that went into creating this too cute confection. Just looking at the bright colors in her photographs will make you desire a piece of this cake for yourself, maybe even the whole thing. It may even take you back to a place of nostalgic significance, Rainbow Brite and Care Bear themed birthday parties come to mind. Although many of us probably have never enjoyed a party cake that looks this good, at least Steph’s Raspberri Cupcakes food blog gives us the tools to attempt making the Purple Ombre Sprinkles Cake for ourselves.
