To show our Pride Month spirit we decided to bake the rainbow! We love that our Confetti Pop Sprinkles are made colorful with dyes derived from fruits, veggies and spices and we thought let’s try some from-scratch natural dying with our frosting. Follow along for how we created these colorful Mini Rainbow Cakelets.

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease and flour a half-sheet tray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter. Add in the Miss Jones Organic Vanilla Cake Mix and whisk until combined.
Pour batter into the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-22 minutes. Let cool.
Once completely cool, take a 4-inch cookie cutter and carefully cut out 12 even circles from the sheet cake. Place 1 cake layer, domed side down, on a platter.
Spread 1 tablespoon of desired colored frosting on top using a small spatula. Place another layer on top and spread another 2 tablespoons of desired color frosting. Place 3rd cake layer on top and spread 2 tablespoons frosting on top of cake. Repeat for the other mini cakes and natural dye frostings.
Sprinkle each top with organic nonpareil sprinkles.
