  • 1 box Pillsbury Funfetti® Cake Mix
  • 2 cans Pillsbury white frosting
  • 1 can Pillsbury aqua blue frosting
  • 1 can Pillsbury purple frosting
  • ¾ cup Sprinkles Galaxy themed
  • 1 box Pillsbury Filled Pastry Bag

Instructions

  • Prepare the cake, as per box instructions (I made 3 cakes).
  • Allow the cakes to cool down. 
  • Use a sharp knife to cut domes on top of the cake (if any). 
  • Place one cake on a cake stand and frost the top with white icing.
  • Place another cake on top of the icing.  Gently press it down and spread white frosting again. 
  • Place the third cake on top of the icing. Gently press it down and spread white frosting again.
  • Frost the entire cake in white icing. 
  • Use a spatula to spread purple and blue frosting randomly all over the cake. 
  • Use a clean spatula to spread frosting smoothly all over the cake until you have a swirled pattern of beautiful colors. 
  • Toss some sprinkles around the sides of the cake. 
  • Use piping bag to pipe stars around the top of the cake in a circle formation. 
  • Toss some sprinkles in the center of the cake. 
  • Use piping bag to pipe ruffles around the base of the cake. Enjoy!
