The subject invention relates to a system and method for manufacturing aerated confections, more specifically, multi-colored aerated confections. The system includes a mixer for mixing ingredients into a mixture, a cooker downstream from the mixer, and a buffer vessel to hold the mixture. A vessel pump transports the mixture from the buffer vessel to an aerator station. The aerator station comprises a single aerator and a plurality of additive stations. After aerating the mixture, a manifold divides the mixture into a plurality of streams and pumps the streams to the additive stations. Each of the plurality of streams has a control pump to pump the mixture from the aerator in predetermined portions. An extruder is positioned downstream from the additive stations and in fluid communication with each of the streams to extrude the predetermined portions into the aerated confection.
