What to Serve with Funfetti Dip
Funfetti dip is vanilla-flavored and lightly sweet, so pairs well with a variety of cookies and crackers.
- Animal Crackers – These fun animal-shaped cookies are perfect for funfetti dip. They aren’t overly sweet by themselves, so the combination of cookie and dip is well-balanced.
- Graham Crackers – Another cookie that isn’t too sweet. The graham flavor is also a nice complement to the vanilla in the dip.
- Strawberries – Strawberries and vanilla dip are a great pair. They go well with this cake batter dip.
- Oreos – If you’re a chocolate lover, Oreos also make a great dipper for funfetti dip. The crunchy chocolate cookies pair well with vanilla.
- Pretzel Chips – For the sweet and salty crowd, try pairing pretzels with cake batter dip. It’s a great blend of the two flavors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Funfetti cake, also called Rainbow Chip or Confetti, is typically a separate boxed cake flavor. The cake mix is usually a white or vanilla cake with colorful candies added. It looks like confetti within the cake when it’s done baking.
If you can’t find a confetti cake mix, add sprinkles to the mix for the same effect.
Raw flour products are generally not safe for consumption. They have not been treated to eliminate bacteria, like salmonella. Eating non-treated raw flour products could result in food poisoning. So heat any cake mix or flour, just to be safe.
Flour should be heated to 165 degrees before consumption. Heat the cake mix in the microwave and use a cooking thermometer to monitor the temperature.
