Apply these sprinkles to frosting or icing while it is still wet. This allows the sprinkles to adhere properly to the surface of your baked goods. For best results, cover the frosted area generously to ensure a vibrant and festive appearance. They can also be pressed into fondant or buttercream for a more uniform look. Experiment with different patterns and designs to create unique dessert presentations. They are a simple way to elevate the look of homemade treats.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike sanding sugar, these sprinkles offer a more playful and varied texture due to their irregular shapes.

The birthday cake flavor adds a subtle sweetness that complements many dessert profiles.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused sprinkles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent moisture from clumping the sprinkles. This will help maintain their vibrant colors and texture for future use.
