Today is the first day of the 2011 Beale Street Music Festival. And for the fourth year in a row (every year that I have lived in Memphis, TN) I have a three day pass and am ready to battle the southern sun and the inevitable rain that comes every year without fail. Bottle of SPF50, hat and poncho – check! Hopefully the tornadoes have had enough the past two weeks and the park won’t have to be evacuated like last year. Not exactly my favorite.

Before I venture off into the mud pit (that might not be the most appetizing thing to say before talking about food) I’m going to expose you to the world of Funfetti/cake batter. If you’ve been wondering why I made several Funfetti-inspired recipes this month, it’s because I declared April as Funfetti month! I love to bake, and I cannot deny how much I love raw Funfetti cake batter, or even in cooked form. Below is a list of recipes that I found strewn about the internet featuring Funfetti or cake batter. Let the fun begin! (Oh good grief that was corny in context)
