WHAT KIND OF BAKING PAN DO I USE FOR THE NINJA FOODI?

You can use any round pan that fits in your Ninja Foodi. Ninja has their own round cake pans that fit perfectly, but any ones that are similar in size will work as well.

WHAT'S THE BEST CAKE MIX TO USE?

The great thing about this recipe is that you can use any variety of cake mix that you choose. If you prefer to have a vanilla or chocolate cake, then go for it! The directions stay the same.

HOW DO I STORE LEFTOVERS?

To store your leftover confetti cake, you can either cut the cake into individual slices and place in an airtight container and place in the fridge or you can place the leftover cake in a cake keeper.

You don't necessarily have to keep it in the fridge but if you don't, it will only last for 2 to 3 days on the counter. It will last in the fridge for up to 3 to 5 days.

CAN I FREEZE THE CONFETTI CAKE?

Yes! You can! Place the finished cake in the freezer for an hour to set the frosting. After that, wrap the cake in two layers of plastic wrap followed by a layer of aluminum foil.

The cake can remain frozen for about 3 months. Well, okay, you could probably push it to 4-5 months but the sooner you serve it after freezing, the fresher it will taste. 

To enjoy, simply thaw the cake in the fridge and dig in!
