Here's an idea for a Spectacular cake, you'll see why its called Spectacular in a minute.

You'll need:

* box mix confetti cake
* white cake frosting
* decorators gel to write a message
* 3 balloons (not blown up)
* 1 helium-filled balloon
* Its A Boy and Its A Girl confetti (or edible confetti like round sprinkles)

1. Bake 2 8" rounds of (boxed) confetti cake
2. Set them on a wire rack next to each other (not stacked)
3. Frost them with white frosting and write a message
4. Fill the 3 unblown balloons with 1/2 - 1 cup each of the confetti, blow them up, then tie them closed.
5. Tie the 3 balloons to the helium balloon such that the helium balloon holds them all up.
4. Tie the balloon ensemble to the wire rack, between the 2 cakes

When it's time, tell everyone to stand back. Have someone pop the 3 confetti filled balloons causing them to explode and scatter the confetti all over the cakes!

Now that's a spectacular cake for any occasion! I found that picking the pieces of Its A Boy, or Its A Girl confetti off the cake is a small price to pay for such an eye catching show.

Enjoy!
Heather
