It's not just the funfetti mix that bothers me--it's all the name brand mixes. DH, BC, and PB all just taste and smell like chemicals to me. I can tell it at the first bite, and it just bothers me. The store brand mix that I use doesn't have that taste and smell, and if they ever stop making it, I'll probably quit doing cakes. That's how much I've come to depend on it.

: WOW! I use this mix for kids cakes all the time. I have never had an issue with the smell. It has a very sweet taste but that is all I have ever noticed. Good luck.

: I finally was able to find the Pillsbury "Funfetti" mixes, so I don't have to improvise after all. I just baked it and can't stand the smell of it--too much chemical additive, fake flavoring,or something. I don't use the name brand mixes for this very reason and wouldn't have on this one except the customer specified that's what she wanted. I'm waiting for the odor to clear out of my kitchen so I can go back in and do some more work. Anyway, thanks to all who made suggestions.

I know there used to be a confetti cake mix in which the colored "confetti" was incorporated into the batter before the cake was baked. I can't find that mix anymore, and I have a customer who wants a confetti cake. This is not with sprinkles on the outside of the cake--it's supposed to have colored bits in the cake itself. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks in advance.
