CONFETTI WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• For the pies: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Mix together the cake mix, oil and eggs in a large bowl until combined. Stir in the sprinkles.
• Using a 2-tablespoon ice cream scoop, dollop 12 scoopfuls of batter on one of the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Repeat with the remaining baking sheet. Dampen your fingers with a little water; press and smooth the tops of each dollop so that they are flattened slightly and even on top. Bake until they are golden and springy to the touch, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool completely on the sheets.
• For the frosting: Meanwhile, beat the butter and marshmallow creme together in a bowl with an electric mixer until very fluffy. Add the vanilla and beat until combined. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar about 1/4 cup at a time, adding more until the mixture is properly stiff enough to hold its shape (see Cook's Note). Using the same (cleaned) scoop as the cookies, scoop the filling onto the flat side of one cookie, then top it with another cookie, flat-side down. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling. Pour the sprinkles into a low bowl or rimmed plate, then roll the sides of the filled cookies in the sprinkles until the exposed filling is coated. Serve immediately, or store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

CONFETTI CUPS

Steps:

• For the confetti cups: Line each cup of a 12-cup muffin pan with a cupcake liner.
• Process 15 of the vanilla sandwich cookies into crumbs in a food processor. Add the melted butter, then mix to combine. Press the crumbs into the cupcake liners. Set aside.
• Crush the remaining 4 vanilla sandwich cookies into chunks. Mix the softened ice cream with the crushed vanilla cookies and sprinkles in a bowl. Spoon into the cupcake liners.
• For the toppings: Press the rainbow sprinkles and chocolate shavings into the top of each cup. Freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Remove the confetti cups from the muffin pan (leaving on the cupcake liners) and place in a single layer in resealable bags or other airtight containers.
• To serve, peel off the liners and place each one on a plate. Top with sweetened whipped cream if you'd like. You can also just serve them in the liners.

CONFETTI BLONDIES

Steps:

• For the blondies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment and cooking spray, allowing the parchment to hang over the sides.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and butter. Whisk in the vanilla and eggs. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour, baking powder and salt. Lastly, fold in the sprinkles.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it to even out the surface. Bake until the blondies are golden brown, 32 to 35 minutes. Set aside to cool completely before icing, about 1 hour.
• For the confetti icing: In a large bowl, mix the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and salt with an electric mixer until just combined. Add the milk and whip until the icing is light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in the rainbow sprinkles.
• Spread the icing on the cooled blondies in a thick even layer. Sprinkle the top with as many sprinkles as your heart desires. Refrigerate the baking pan until the icing is firm, at least 1 hour.
• Carefully lift the blondies out of the pan and cut into 2-inch squares.

RAINBOW CONFETTI BIRTHDAY PIE

Steps:

• For the crust and filling: Spray a 9-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium-low heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring, until melted. Add the fruity cereal and mix until completely coated. Transfer to the prepared pie pan and press the mixture into the pan to form a crust. Let cool completely.
• Spread the ice cream over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Freeze until hardened, 4 to 6 hours.
• For the garnish: In a chilled large metal bowl, combine the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla. Whip the cream with a whisk or hand mixer to medium peaks.
• Vigorously shake the shell topping sauce and pour about 1/2 cup over the ice cream. Let set. Using a 2-inch ice cream scoop, place scoops of the whipped cream around the edge of the pie. Sprinkle each whipped cream scoop with rainbow sprinkles. Hold in the freezer until ready to serve.
