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!

Is this cheesecake really rich as in sweet?
David says
Question, when you list the pudding, am I just supposed to add half a box of the powdered pudding mix, or do I first have to make the pudding and then use half of what is made?
Terryn says
Hi! Quick terminology question: what does it mean to “turn out” the frozen cheesecake layer? Are you saying it goes in the freezer pan n all? Looks like a great recipe, can’t wait to try it for my babe’s birthday!!
