My daughter’s birthday is literally just around the corner. I can’t believe I’m about to have an 11 year old. Even so, I’m doing my very best to take this birthday extra special since, well, times are still rather strange in the world. One of the things I’m doing to make her day even more magical is making cake! Okay, so… not cake-cake. She had pretty specific instructions on wanting a cookie cake again this year. Which I’m totally down for.

The one I’m making for her actual birthday will be that Giant Cookie Cake from a couple years back. But, to get the party started early this long weekend, I decided to make this Funfetti Sugar Cookie Cake! It’s part cookie. Part cake. And a whole lot of sprinkles!

There’s a lot of color packed into this sugar cookie cake, that’s because there’s a whole half cup of sprinkles baked right in making this bright and fun cake perfect for any occasion. Not just birthdays! If you want this for a specific celebration, feel free to change up the colors of the sprinkles to suit your needs!

Frosted or unfrosted, this Funfetti Sugar Cookie Cake tastes great. And you’ll never guess that it’s been made a little better for you by way of less actual sugar.
