Last night I asked Richie to pick up a cake mix and frosting. I assumed he knew I signed up to make a cake for a funeral at church, considering I never bake. (This is not an exaggeration; since we have been married, I cannot remember baking anything...at least not anything edible.)
Around seven o'clock, I pulled the mix box out of the grocery bag. A confetti cake? Really? For a funeral?
So, who's with me? We're taking a poll. I think confetti cake at a funeral is wildly inappropriate. Richie argues that a funeral should be a celebration of life; therefore, white cake with colorful sprinkles mixed in is more than appropriate. What do you think?

I was in the kitchen this morning and was wondering who brought the confetti cake!
So, I'm guessing that yes, you think confetti cake is a funeral faux pas, right?
I'm up, 2-1.
I think confetti cake is fine. I once was at a church where we had 48 cakes brought in (no lie) and about 35 were chocolate. Variety is good. :)
Thanks for your comment. I'm all for variety, too. But I'm thinking more like some chocolate cake (maybe not 35), a few yellow cakes, mix in a couple strawberry...but confetti? It's just too far. :)
Depending on the personality of the person that died is how I would choose if it's appropriate or not. How's that for riding the fence??
