This Funfetti Frosting is a creamy, sweet, and colorful topping perfect for cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. Made with smooth butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and rainbow sprinkles, it adds a festive touch and delightful texture to any baked treat.

Ingredients

Frosting Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (or vegan baking stick, room temperature)
  • 4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup water (room temperature, you may not need all of it)
  • 1 cup rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Beat the Butter: In the large bowl of an electric mixer or using a hand held mixer, beat the 1/2 cup unsalted butter or vegan baking stick until smooth and creamy. This takes about 2 minutes and ensures a light base for the frosting.
  2. Add Sugar and Vanilla: With the mixer on low speed, slowly add in the 4 cups confectioners' sugar and 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract. Beat until all ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Adjust Consistency: While still mixing on low speed, slowly add the 1/4 cup water a little at a time until you achieve the desired creamy but thick consistency. You may not need to use all the water. The goal is frosting that spreads easily but does not slide off cakes or cupcakes.
  4. Fold in Sprinkles: Using a spatula, fold in the 1 cup rainbow sprinkles gently so they are evenly distributed throughout the frosting without breaking them up.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter or vegan baking stick to ensure smooth mixing and creamy texture.
  • Add water gradually to control the frosting consistency perfectly to your preference.
  • For vegan option, use a plant-based butter alternative and confirm that your sprinkles are vegan-friendly.
  • Store unused frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.
