Each week we round up our favorite posts and recipes from our friends at The Kitchn.

This week, the Kitchn bakes Funfetti cake from scratch by adding rainbow sprinkles to Rose Levy Berenbaum's white velvet cake recipe.

Also on the Kitchn:

• Mini Fried Chicken & Waffles: A nugget of buttermilk fried chicken on a mini waffle (feel free to use frozen toaster waffles) topped with a drizzle of maple syrup. Has the mini food trend gone too far, or is this just the beginning?
• Birthday Traditions Around the World: From noodles to pinatas, there's more to birthdays than just a fat wedge of cake.
• Look! A Thiebaud-Inspired Cake Table: You might recognize pop art painter Wayne Thiebaud's 1963 work called Cakes. Props to this person who made a real-life version of the rows of frosted cake!
