Rainbow Birthday Ice Cream Cake

Give your simple ice-cream cake a colorful twist by adding rainbow colored sprinkles to decorate for a fun summer birthday. Also perfect for rainbow or art themed summer parties.

Rainbow Sprinkles are a staple in my Cake (and Cupcake) Decorating supplies. My kids love to have fun with them when they help decorate their own cupcakes. I usually have the Wilton Jimmies Assorment that I mix up. You can also use the red, white and blue ones to decorate Patriotic Ice Cream Cupcakes.

Wilton Jimmies 6 Mix Sprinkle Assortment

But a Bulk package of mixed colored sprinkles is also a good product to have around if you like to bake a lot. You can even use it inside your cakes and cookies for a ‘confetti’ look.
