This is IT! The Copycat of the Cheesecake Factory’s latest slice! The celebration slice! It was delicious when I had it there but I knew I had to recreate it. Well, the copycat cheesecake factory confetti cheesecake version got CRAZY reviews at home with some coming back for seconds! I highly recommend giving this a try. I made homemade funfetti layers but you could certainly speed the process by using a box mix for those layers! This cake will definitely make everyone smile…sprinkles tend to do that, don’t they?
Just look at those colored layers! Totally FUN!!!! If you love colored layers, check out my tricolor cookies, too! They are perfect for holiday baking or anytime!
