The Rumors Are True: Funfetti Cereal is Coming

CHICAGO, May 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- For more than 30 years, Funfetti® baking products have helped adults and children alike transform any day into a celebration. From classic cookies to bold-colored cakes and frosting, Funfetti has offered fun and innovative products that invite families everywhere to share the joy of baking delicious treats together at home.
