Confetti Cake Made From Scratch ??

I don't want to use a box mix to make a confetti cake... what do I use to make all the confetti colors... I tried colored round sprinkles... did not work, the colors blended... any suggestions
Use what is labeled as "jimmies".
I used them for a wedding cake once. They work great. You can order them here: http://www.countrykitchensa.com/catalog/searchresults.aspx?Description=jimmies
When did you add the sprinkles? Early on, or did you fold them into the batter just before baking?
i would fold them into the dry ingredients, then continue mixing as usual. this way, you get the colors to start to "bleed out".
I mixed my white cake mix, then added the colored bits into the batter. I didn't want to beat them into oblivion and lose the shape/color during the beating process.
Here's how it turned out. Bride, who wanted specific colors, loved it! http://cakecentral.com/gallery/1156785
I'm so glad i saw this because I have a bride who is requesting a funfetti cake and i didn't want to do just the box cake either. Indy you cake turned out beautiful, I love the pink and greens!
I made one for my son's second birthday. I was told to use the long skinny sprinkles because they don't bleed. I just used my regular white cake batter and folded them in at the end. It turned out great!
indydebi... thanks... that's what I am looking for... therese
thanks to all who helped.. great ideas as always
You might want to try a small test batch first. I added some jimmies to a thin buttermilk cake batter, and they ran too much. But the same jimmies in my yellow cake recipe did fine.
