“I constantly go between wanting you to stay my little baby forever, and being excited about all of the amazing things you’ll do in this life.”

Oh, how I love this quote! It was true when Abby entered Kindergarten, and its still true today at 23.

What is FUNFETTI® ?

FUNFETTI® is rainbow sprinkles (also called jimmies in parts of the Northeast, did you know that?) The sprinkles are made from sugar, various waxy shortenings and bright artificial colors.

The funfetti movement began in 1989, when Pillsbury introduced a Funfetti cake mix, a white cake mix with multicolored sprinkles in the cake mix box!

Tips for cost saving board

Bake your own FUNFETTI® (Pillsbury) box cake! Its convieniently quick and doesnt break the bank.

One of the tips for making an epic board is to buy generic brands, or off-brands, for all the “treats.”

We bought a few items from Trader Joe’s, which is pretty inexpensive.

There’s no way around it though, this epic board feed a lot of guests, but it does take some some money to prepare!

This 28″ size feeds 12-20 (depending on portions), and of course you can buy smaller boards and adjust accordingly.[INFO BELOW]
