Deliciously sweet Funfetti Cake Mix Scones utilize boxed cake mix to create an irresistible "birthday cake" flavor. Rainbow sprinkles stud the scones with color while sweet icing glazes the top.
Combine the cake mix, flour, salt, and rainbow sprinkles in a large bowl.
Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or two forks until coarse crumbs form.
Whisk the vanilla extract into the heavy cream. Create a well in the flour-butter mixture and pour the liquid ingredients into the well in two separate parts, mixing until a dough forms. **Note: You may not need the entire cup of cream.
Pour the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Turn the dough a couple of times until it comes together—do not overmix. Form the dough into a 7-inch circle about ¾-inch high.
Cut the disk of dough into eight triangles using a sharp knife or bench scraper. Place the dough triangles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and place the tray in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour to chill.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Brush the tops of the scones with heavy cream and bake them for 18-20 minutes until golden brown—cool the scones on a wire rack.
Whisk the powdered sugar and milk until a glaze forms. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones and sprinkle with additional rainbow sprinkles. Let the glaze set before serving.
