In reply to Sarah. Hi Sarah! I would still try the natural food dyes you have. You may need a little more sugar since it may introduce a little more liquid. :)

Good day! Is there any way to color the sprinkles naturally? I have natural food coloring, but it isn’t the gel kind. Thank you!

In reply to Nicola. Hi Nicola! I'm so sorry this is happening! You could probably thin it out a little bit with a little more water. :)

What on earth am I doing wrong? Followed the quantities, double and triple checked them and my mix can be rolled into a ball in my hand before even adding the remaining half cup of sugar

I am so excited to try this after seeing such high prices in Amazon for unique color sets. What are your thoughts on adding luster dust to give the neutrals some shine? Would it work?

In reply to Hana. I’m not sure if it will work the same with these but I’ve used honey to make royal icing and it works perfectly.

In reply to Tina J. Hi Tina! These sprinkles will hold up just like traditional jimmies will. If you are baking them, they are going to melt. If you are just dropping them on top of a frosting or something similar, they will hold and not bleed. Enjoy!

In reply to Ryan Nicole Ealy. Hi Ryan! They should be good for several months in an airtight container. Have fun and enjoy!

In reply to Laks. Do the colours ever run? And can they be baked? Thanks

In reply to Aer. I am going to try and make these for Halloween. How long do they last? What is the beat way to store them? I will need to make them maybe two days in advance so I want to make sure they will still be edible. Thanks.

In reply to Morgana. Hi Morgana! I haven't tried the glucose syrup, but I definitely think it's worth a shot. If you do try it I would love to know how it goes. :)

Hi Sam!!!

This is such a smart and suprisingly easy recipe. It’s just that we in Australia don’t have light corn syrup or any corn syrup for that matter. I do have glucose syrup would that work? I should I just sit this recipe out

Lots of love x

In reply to Laks. I like Americolor food gels. :)

In reply to Hana. Hi Hana! Unfortunately the corn syrup is a key ingredient here so I'm not sure how you would substitute it. :(

In reply to Halima. I wana know if we can do it without corn syrup ???

What gel food color would you suggest? I’m planning on making a sprinkle covered birthday cake..

In reply to Paula Waeschle. Hi Paula! You could try pressing a piece of plastic wrap against the surface while it's in the bowl, but honestly these typically take a like a day or so to harden so I'm not sure you'll be able to save the mixture quite that long. :(

I want to use this recipe to make number sprinkles. Unfortunately since my mold only has two of each number I think this is going to take me a while. How do I keep the mixture I dont use from hardening.

In reply to Cindy. I have not, but I think it may make them greasy and cause them to bleed so I would be a little hesitant to do it. :(

In reply to Sam. Thanks for replying. I did use Americolor gel food color but wondering if you’ve ever attempted to coat dried sprinkles with a spray of oil to get them shiny.

By: Sam

Sam — Sat, 03 Jul 2021 01:57:38 +0000

In reply to Cindy. Hi Cindy! I wouldn't say mine come out very glossy. I would say they are on par with store bought sprinkle colors. That being said, you can get a little more vibrant color by using gel food coloring. :)

I just made some and after a bad batch (all I needed was 1 1/8 cups of powdered sugar to get the right consistency) all went amazing. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe! One question I have: have you tried spraying once dried with some type of oil to give them a shiny coating? The dried ones appear too matted or dull on mine but yours seem really shiny and vibrant.
Thanks!
