Make Classic Sprinkled Donuts

No donut is complete without a dusting of sprinkles. Make this doughy dessert, dip it in your favorite glaze, then top it with classic rainbow sprinkles. (They stick to glaze like nobody's business!)

Create an Elaborate Pattern

If you want a look that's a little more advanced than literally sprinkling on your sprinkles, you can use a pair of decorating tweezers to deliberately place each sprinkle on your cake or cookies. Add shimmering dragées (that's those big, shiny sprinkles) in an organized grid, or create a familiar shape like a heart or star. If you’re looking for a place to start, check out our two Easter cookie activity books! They have designs for both beginner and advanced cookie decorators.

Give Your Cookies a Sprinkle Crown

You don't have to ice your entire cookie to make it look complete. Pipe a bit of frosting across one edge, cover it in sprinkles, and call it a day.

Bake Some Color Into Your Cake

Sprinkles shouldn't be confined to the outside of your cakes. Add some fun to the inside with Yo's Funfetti Cake Recipe. It's the perfect birthday cake for kids and kids at heart!

Add a Dab of Buttercream

If any of your desserts — from pastries to cupcakes to cookies — are looking a little unfinished, just pipe a bit of buttercream on top and cover it in sprinkles. It will look 100% intentional. For Yo’s classic Italian meringue buttercream recipe and to learn her tips and tricks on how to make it, check out her FREE 4-week baking program!

Create a Sprinkle Pattern on Your Cookies

When you're decorating cookies with royal icing, you can make one part of your design stand out by adding sprinkles. To make these Zodiac cookies, we piped the non-sprinkly part of our design first and let it dry completely before going back and adding wet royal icing to the part we wanted to cover in our Zodiac sprinkles. The sprinkles stick to the wet icing but brush right off the dry parts.

Add a Sprinkle Fault Line

Fault lines are a dramatic and surprisingly easy cake decorating technique. Just apply one layer of icing, stick your sprinkles on around the middle of the cake, and chill. Then apply a second layer of icing in a contrasting color. Don't ice over the sprinkle section. When you smooth out the icing above and below, it'll create an uneven fault line on either side of your sprinkles.

Create a Chocolate Sprinkle Bomb

If you like to play with your food, you'll love sprinkle bombs. Use a silicone mold and coat at least two of the cavities with melted chocolate or chocolate melting wafers. Wait for it to dry. Then, fill one molded chocolate with sprinkles and stick a second chocolate to the top, using a bit more melted chocolate to glue the two sides together. Put your creation on top of a cake, cupcake, pastry or drop it in a mug of hot chocolate! And when you serve it, crack the chocolate in half to unleash the sprinkles. Hop on this trend by whipping up some of Jyoti’s hot chocolate bombs!

Fill Your Cake With a Sprinkle Surprise

Sprinkle bombs aren't the only surprise we have up our sleeves. Get some oohs and ahhs by hollowing out the inside of your cake and filling it with sprinkles. When you remove that first slice, the secret center will come pouring out. And it's sure to surprise and delight!

🎉 ✨ MORE SPRINKLES, MORE SPARKLE ✨ 🎉

When we need a little decorating inspo, the first thing we do is open our sprinkle cabinet (every kitchen needs one 😉). Soon enough, we're inspired to whip up a funfetti cake, and top it with Shake Your Pom Poms, Bling It On, or Stay Golden sprinkles — all of which are original artisan blends from our past Monthly Sprinkle Service deliveries.

With our Monthly Sprinkle Service, you can get fresh decorating inspo delivered to your door. Each month's blends are a sweet surprise and are only available for a limited time. Check out this month's colorful creations, and see how we're using them!
