What happened to funfetti?!

[Anonymous]

I haven't had funfetti in a long time - probably years. But I got a sudden craving to make funfetti cupcakes with frosting--DID IT CHANGE?

Didn't confetti used to have delicious rainbow chips? Now it's sprinkles? Where can I buy the rainbow chip kind?!

Actually, come to think of it I made one a couple months ago for my niece and it had the chips in dinosaur shapes. Maybe the store you went to just didn't carry it.

It was always sprinkes as far as I know. Sorry! You want rainbowchip cakemix and frosting. if you want an overpriced 6 pack you can get it on Amazon - http://smile.amazon.com/Betty-Crocker-Supermoist-Rainbow-15-25-Ounce/dp/B005EKI1OI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414516264&sr=8-1&keywords=rainbow+chip+cake+mix

It has always been sprinkles. Occasionally, there are speciality ones, ike the dinosaur one, that are chips, but sprinkles is the default.

OP here. Didn't the funfetti cake and frosting used to have rainbow chips though? They were shaped like mini chocolate chips, but they were rainbow colored, and delicious colorful sugary conical shaped chips. I hate sprinkles. I've never liked sprinkles, so something definitely changed

I already posted with the amazon link but I think it is so funny that we know so much about this cake mix. My DS's birthday is tomorrow. We were in NYC a few weeks ago so he and I made boxed cake so we could celebrate with his grandparents. It wasn't pretty but it was awesome (moist and chemically delicious). For his party I ordered a way too exepnsive cake from a bakery, I have a feeling it will pale in comparrision to my boxed cake.

Pillsbury Funfetti has always been sprinkles (been making it for 20 yrs) but I do recall those cone-shaped candy pieces. Dont think it was Funfetti though, I will do some research (talk to my mom and sister) and get back to you.

You are thinking of Rainbow Chip, not funfetti (or if it was funfetti, I bet it's been twenty years since they called it that). At any rate, I think it's largely discontinued. My local Safeway used to carry it, but it is gone, gone, gone. I share your pain. On the upside, think of how many fewer trans fats you'll eat!

OP I'm with you I will always ALWAYS think of funfetti cake as the kind with the chips in the frosting. Haven't seen it in what feels like forever. Damn that was good frosting.

OP again. I think you're right.

I found the rainbow chip cake mix at a different grocery store, but no luck on the frosting. Meanwhile, there were like 7 different varieties of "funfetti" with sprinkles. The one with the rainbow chips in it reigns supreme. And apparently, not on the shelves anymore...

YES!!! The batter was always sprinkles, but the frosting used to be the delicious chips, which is what made it!! Its so sad.
