Sprinkling tips

Sprinkles only stick to a tacky surface. So scatter them over fresh icing, over couverture chocolate that is still soft, or over buttercream before it sets. For cupcakes and cake pops with neat edges, pour the sprinkles into a shallow dish and dip the bake in upside down. On whipped cream and moist fillings, coloured sprinkles bleed over time – add them just before serving. Busy mixes look calmer when you pair them with a single-colour variety, such as white snowflakes with the red and gold mix. Once opened, seal the bag well and keep it dry, and your sprinkles will stay lovely until the next baking session.

Frequently asked questions

Can I bake sprinkles?

You can scatter nonpareils and simple sugar sprinkles over biscuits before baking, but the colours often fade a little. Sprinkles with fine shapes such as stars or reindeer are best added after baking, onto the icing.

What is the difference between nonpareils and sprinkle mixes?

Nonpareils are tiny round sugar balls in one or a few colours. Sprinkle mixes usually combine shapes, pearls and colours – for example stars, snowflakes and sugar pearls in one pack.
