iambaker.netI don't know about you, but I've got a major case of Spring Fever, so I decided to make a fun and festive cake to bring a little joy into my family's day. I recently shared my no-fail homemade cake sprinkles with you, and now I am so excited to share with you my springtime Rainbow Sprinkles Cake!
You can use whatever cake you want as the base, but my favorite is this amazing Banana Nut Cake. And here is the recipe for the BEST cream cheese frosting you will ever have. It's thick and rich and the perfect addition to our spring cake!

I start out with a base cake -- which is just whatever my favorite flavored cake is -- covered in frosting and ready to be decorated. I chose Banana Nut Cake with a decadent Cream Cheese frosting.

Next I cut out 8 strips of parchment paper. My cake was baked in a 6-inch cake pan, so I made each strip about 2 1/2 inches wide and 10 inches long.
I placed them around the cake, leaving approximately a 2 1/2-inch space between each strip.

Starting in the first blank panel, I add sprinkles to cover the area. Nothing fussy about it -- you can just smoosh them into the cake!

Keep adding as many sprinkles as you would like until the panel is completely covered. You can then move on to your next blank panel and next sprinkle color.
When you have finished adding all your sprinkles, I would put the cake in the freezer for no less than 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for no less than 1 hour. This will help the frosting set and allow the parchment to be removed in nice, clean strips.

Although I loved the crisp lines of the cake, I couldn't help but go back and add the remainder of my sprinkles. I just mixed them all together then placed them around the base of the cake for a burst of color.
