Making your own sprinkles sounds like a daunting task
and it is. So many people ask me why I would do it and my main reason is
because it’s much cheaper. Making a batch of royal icing and piping it into
small dots is much cheaper that buying a small packet of sprinkles for a very
high price. The good news about this daunting task, however, is that it gets
easier every time you do it and that it produces more sprinkles than you think.
The first batch may not be amazing, but the more you practice the better it
gets.
Ingredients
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp meringue powder
Hot water
Food colouring
Method
1. Mix together the powdered sugar and meringue powder.
2. Add the hot water 1 tbsp at a time until the icing is
the right consistency. It must be thick enough to hold its shape when piped
into small dots, but still thin enough to be piped with a very small tip.
3. Split the icing into different bowls and colour how
you wish.
4. Fill small piping bags with the icing or you can use
small sandwich bags.
5. Pipe small dots onto parchment paper.
6. Leave at room temperature for 24 hours.
7. Peel off of the paper and place in an air tight
container.
