How to use sprinkles, shavings and buttons

Coating the side of a cake

Spread the side with buttercream or ganache, then press the sprinkles or shavings on with the flat of your hand or a palette knife. Stand the cake on a tray so you can reuse whatever falls off straight away.

Shavings and warm hands don't mix

Chocolate shavings melt quickly. Scatter them with a spoon or straight from the pack onto a well-chilled cake. White shavings on dark ganache, dark ones on cream: the contrast does the work.

Buttons for children's parties

Colourful chocolate buttons are a hit on cupcakes, muffins and birthday cakes. Press them into the frosting while it is still soft so they stay put. A good base is our chocolate cupcake recipe.
