Tips for Perfect Birthday Cake Waffles

• Use nonpareil sprinkles instead of jimmies—they hold their color better when cooked.
• Don’t overmix after adding sprinkles to keep the colors from blending.
• For an extra cake-like texture, replace half the buttermilk with whole milk and add 1 tablespoon of dry cake mix to the batter.
