Jello Poke Cake

Yesterday was Julian's friends birthday, so I decided to make him a Jello poke cake with a box of "Party Rainbow Chip" and a box of orange Jello.  I think Pillsbury won with the name "Funfetti," because Betty Crocker's Party Rainbow Chip does not have flow easily or have a nice ring.  I think "Rainbow Party Chip" would be better, but Julian and I discussed that they are rainbow chips and not party chips.  I guess I'm biased (or just lazy), and I refer to anything with multi-colored chips as Funfetti.  These pictures aren't very good, and I cut the cake up into smaller quadrants instead of giving Jul's friend an entire 13x9 cake to take home.

  1. When our daughter was younger, she always insisted that I make some type of jello cake for her birthday cakes...so hence, I have several recipes. I will have to give yours a try next month :)
