Personally, I think sprinkles make everything more fun! I always choose the desert that has the sprinkles on it, no matter if it's ice cream, a cookie, or cake. I made a vanilla cupcake with strawberry jam dropped in the middle (this part is really good), with a marshmallow frosting. The marshmallow frosting is mostly a meringue-like, no butter. I cut the sugar in half, since the I prefer these kind of things to not be too crazy sweet. I think it was pretty good, but I prefer buttercreams more on cupcakes, so since I probably won't be making the frosting again like this, I won't post the recipe. But, if anyone wants the recipe, I'd be more than happy to post something.

1st attempt at Cuban Opera Cake
This is my first attempt at making the complicated Cuban Opera Cake (recipe is on Epicurious, just do a google search and it would be the first thing to come up). There are a few things that I'd like to change, namely having even layers of buttercream, with less on the top. Also, it's better to really let the chocolate glaze cool completely, while still pourable, which will leave more glaze on top. Next time, concentrate on getting the layers really even before you put the cake layer of top.
