Of course any confetti or funfetti cake starts with the sprinkles.

Tips and Ideas
Low carb baking is not as simple as replacing all purpose or cake flour with a low carb or no carb version.
Almond flour and coconut flour behave very differently to normal flour and coconut flour absorbs way more fluids than the other flours.
With this recipe the mixture of almond and coconut flour gives a perfect texture for the cupcake and it is moist without the coconut dominating.
Want to know more about low carb flours, then you this guide by Vince from Nutrition You Can Use is a good starting point.
Be careful not to over-mix when the flour is added, otherwise the batter will crack when it cooks.
These little cakes are perfect for a birthday party. The funfetti trend is very popular, so develop your whole birthday theme around it.
Or incorporate them into a unicorn, rainbow or barbie theme or create an all pink wonderland.
