Claire Saffitz Makes Confetti Cake | Dessert Person. Get ready to party! And by party, we mean stay at home and be safe. But fortunately, you need no special occasion to make this delicious, celebratory, kid-friendly, and deeply nostalgic confetti cake. A tender white birthday cake studded with rainbow sprinkles and covered in smooth, tangy cream cheese frosting, it tastes like childhood (which is to say, better than the box). We took a hiatus but Claire and her crew are back with Season II of Dessert Person — check out this first episode!
