- Garnishing cakes
- Adding color to desserts
Sprinkles are applied to baked goods after frosting or icing has been applied, while it is still wet. This allows the sprinkles to adhere to the surface. They can be sprinkled on by hand for an even distribution or carefully placed for specific designs. For best results, ensure the frosting is firm enough to hold the weight of the sprinkles but not so hard that they won't stick. They are a simple way to elevate the presentation of any sweet creation.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike larger candy pieces, these heart shapes are delicate and designed to melt slightly into frosting. Their small size ensures they are easy to eat and don't overpower the texture of the baked good. The distinct heart shape offers a more thematic decoration than generic round sprinkles.
Who it is for
Bakers of all skill levels enjoy using these sprinkles to make their desserts look special.
How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of these sprinkles fresh and prevent them from clumping, store them in a cool, dry place. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to protect them from moisture and humidity. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade the color over time.
