Funfetti Birthday Cake Trifle Recipe

Celebrate the next birthday in your family with this delicious Funfetti Birthday Cake Trifle Recipe!

Hello everyone! Renee here from Two in the Kitchen! Today I’m going to share a festive recipe with you, which would best be called “fun in a bowl” or “Funfetti Birthday Cake Trifle.” If you or someone you know is celebrating a birthday soon, this recipe would be perfect and would put a smile on anyone’s face! This Funfetti Birthday Cake Trifle Recipe is made with a simple yellow boxed cake mix with a cup of funfetti sprinkles mixed in. I then made a white chocolate cream cheese frosting and white chocolate pudding to layer in between. This really is like a deconstructed cake and is a fun alternative way to make a birthday cake!

This trifle looks pretty, tastes great, and feeds a crowd!  You will, of course, need a trifle bowl for this eye-catching dessert.  If you don’t have one, here is a good one from Amazon that is reasonably priced and will ship in 2 days with Amazon Prime.

The next time you’re celebrating a birthday or any special event, think about making a birthday trifle rather than a birthday cake. I know you are going to just love it!
