| Naming Notes | The name, FunFetti, refers to the Pillsbury baking brand's cake and cupcake recipe that is sold in grocery stores as a boxed cake mix. The cake itself is a vanilla cake base with rainbow sprinkles, and this reminded me of how plaques look on an agar plate at the conclusion of serial dilutions. |
