Purple Funfetti Cake For Easter

I made this pretty Purple Funfetti Cake for Easter but you could make it for any fun purple themed party you might be celebrating with.

Colorful Funfetti Cake Mix

Have you seen the beautiful colors Funfetti cake mix comes in now? I stocked up on some of the different colored funfetti cake mixes when they were on sale for $1 a package. I couldn't wait to make something with the Purple Funfetti Cake mix.

I knew the Purple Funfetti Cake Mix would make a beautiful Easter Cake. When I was making it I planned to decorate the outside with some PEEPS. I even went as far as buying a bunch of different colored PEEPS and other Easter candy so I could make the ultimate Easter Candy Cake. But once I decorated the cake with the purple and green Sixlets and edible Easter grass I thought it looked beautiful the way it was.

If you haven't seen the colored Funfetti Cupcake Mix you can pick up a bundle pack at Amazon that has one package of each available color of the Funfetti Cake Mix. What I love about these little packets of colored funfetti cake mix is that one package makes 12 cupcakes or a perfect 6 inch double layer cake. If you avoid baking because a regular cake mix is way too much for your family these smaller Pillsbury Funfetti packages are perfect.

You can still make a regular 8 or 9 inch double layer cake if you want. You will just need two packages in your color of choice.

As I mentioned I made a double layer 6 inch Purple Funfetti Cake here. I baked the cakes in two Wilton 6 x 3 inch cake pans. I used my homemade cream cheese frosting but you could go all out and frost this beautiful bold purple cake with the Funfetti Bold Purple Frosting. There is a colored frosting to go with each color of funfetti cake mix except for the Funfetti Radiant Red  mix. In that case you would use a vanilla frosting or my homemade cream cheese frosting.

How to Make a Purple Funfetti Cake

Ingredients

• 1 package Pillsbury Bold Purple Cake Mix
• ingredients to make cake
• 1 batch homemade cream cheese frosting
• 1 package large purple sixlets
• 1 package large  green sixlets
• edible Easter grass, snipped into small pieces
• 12 inch decorator bag
• decorator rose tip

Directions

• Mix the Bold Purple cake mix as directed.
• Divide the cake mix between 2 six inch cake pans.
• Bake as directed.
• Cool cake mix completely.
• While cake is cooling make the cream cheese frosting.
• Place one layer of cake on a cake stand.
• Frost sides and top of first cake layer.
• Place second layer on top of first layer and frost.
• Chill until frosting is set.
• Decorate the bottom edge of the cake with a row of purple roses.
• Snip a piece of edible grass into ½ - 1 inch pieces.
• Add a border of the edible grass pieces over the purple roses.

Now you can decorate the cake with more edible grass or sixlets if you like. You could even add some colorful PEEPS if you want.

The Purple Funfetti Cake makes a great Easter Cake but you could leave off the edible Easter grass and use this cake for a birthday party instead.
