Origin stories

Funboards, known for their pastel colors and cheery sprinkles, trace their origins back to the 1980s in America. During this decade, a popular baking company introduced a new product line, Funfetti, which featured a boxed cake mix packed with rainbow sprinkles. This mix, aimed at bringing a dose of joy and color to any celebration, quickly became a beloved staple in American households, especially for birthday parties. The concept of adding sprinkles to a simple cake batter to create a more festive treat was a hit, leading home bakers across the country to experiment with their own homemade versions. Thus, the funboard was born. These sprinkle-filled treats continue to be a symbol of celebration and fun, bringing a smile to the faces of both the young and the young at heart.
