This Insane Funfetti Cake Has Homemade Sprinkles Pricklier Than a Porcupine

There's your average funfetti cake . . . and then there's this. A diner in Brooklyn, NY, called Hail Mary has created one of the most epic cakes covered in colorful homemade sprinkles that puts boxed funfetti cake to shame. The mile-high cake is completely scratch made (as are the restaurant's other notable menu items, like mac and cheese with house-made American cheese) and is frosted with a generous coating of salted caramel icing before being topped with those eye-catching sprinkles. We've made homemade sprinkles before, so we know the trick is to add food coloring to royal icing and pipe each one by hand to get the perfect shape. Can you even contain your excitement for this dessert? After seeing the rest of the photos — including the Pop Tart! — you might find yourself planning a pit stop the next time you're in Brooklyn. If you're nowhere near, you can re-create the magic at home with a similar birthday cake with salted buttercream frosting and rainbow jimmies.
