How people cook with it

These sprinkles are best applied to frosting or icing while it is still wet, allowing them to adhere properly. They can also be pressed into fondant or buttercream before it sets. For a more uniform look, you can gently shake them onto the surface. They are not meant to be baked into doughs or batters, as heat can cause them to melt and lose their shape and color. Use them as a final decorative touch for maximum impact.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike sanding sugar, which consists of fine, uniform crystals, confetti sprinkles offer a mix of shapes and sizes, providing a more playful and textured appearance. They also contain a wider variety of colors compared to simple colored sugars.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Store any unused sprinkles in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can cause them to clump together. Proper storage will maintain their texture and color for future use.
