BIRTHDAY CONFETTI CAKE 🎂 (Funfetti Cake)

I can't think of a more fitting way to celebrate a birthday or special occasion than with an over the top confetti cake. My version is a three-layer vanilla cake with a classic ermine frosting, and of course an ef-ton of sprinkles. The nostalgia factor here is off the charts, but more importantly this thing tastes good.
