never buy sprinkles again - here's how to make them from scratch (it's dried icing) #recipe

[jessicainthekitchenrecipes]

HOMEMADE SPRINKLES
1 cup powdered sugar (I have a video on powdered sugar)
1-2 tablespoons water
food colouring of your choice I love the plant based ones from whole foods or any artificial dyes free food colouring

Mix together the powdered sugar and water until fully combined and at the consistency in the video.

Divide the icing into individual bowls - I made the rainbow here so I separated it into 7 containers. Add food colouring to each bowl, bearing in mind that dye free food colouring usually needs a few more drops of each but not too much that the whole batch tastes like food colouring.

For colours like orange or purple remember to balance out the primary colours to get the colours you need

To make orange: mix red and yellow

To make purple/violet: mix red and blue

To make indigo: mix red and blue and add a bit more blue to the mix

For green: most packs come with green but I find the green food colouring alone is very neon so go in with appropriate amounts of yellow and blue to make green (adding a bit more blue to darken/normalise it slightly)

Separate the frosting/icing into bags. I place the bag into a tall drinking glass and then open it up all the way which makes it much easier to add the icing in. Squeeze it to the bottom as much as possible, pressing any air out.

Twist your bags or even add rubber bands to keep the icing down. Snip off a bit off the tip of each bag evenly.

On a parchment paper, squeeze lines of icing. You can make also shape you desire too, like dots, hearts, even little animals if you'd like! If you make a mistake initially just wipe them off and start over!

Leave your parchment paper in a spot you won't have to touch and let it try for 12 hours. If you're in a rush they can dry in like 1 hour but they'll be perfectly set after 12 hours. Cut them up or if they're already in individual pieces just slide them off they come off extremely easy which is the clearest sign that they're dry.

Store in an air tight container, add to your favorite baked goods and enjoy!

The patience of some people is incredible to me.

This had the opposite effect on me, I learned why I should just buy sprinkles from the store if I want them because I'm not piping out all those tiny lines and dots.

No wonder why I only like my local bakery sprinkles. They might be making them from scratch explains why they are so soft and sugary. I hate the crunchy shelf stable ones. Thanks for the recipe too

This method also allows you to add a few drops of an extract. Thanks for sharing it!

Royal icing can be used as well! It's a bit more sturdy also.

This is really cute to watch and I appreciate that someone in the world out there is making their own sprinkles— but as much as I love bread baking and candle making and crocheting, that just feels like one layer of do-it-yourselfness I don’t particularly need

My kids love baking and decorating their goodies, so I can't wait to show them how to do this.

Wait this is actually such a good idea
Regular sprinkles have such a nasty pasty taste but these would taste better since they’re just icing

Amazing idea❤

They have awesome stencils out for making your own sprinkles I follow another lady on here that makes her own all the time she makes a whole bunch of different ones it's pretty neat.

I love making my own sprinkles! Last time I dyed mine with matcha and strawberry powder! The strawberry powder has a very subtle fruity taste but the color is soooo vibrant.

Darn right! I'm NEVER buying 'junk' sprinkles again! Thank you for this video!❤❤❤

[brandierae]

you can also get sprinkle molds online that you wipe the icing over and lift, then let dry and remove from the wax paper!

[vampslays]

this is honestly so smart as someone who HATES the waxy store bought sprinkles

[milenaswieboda]

As a person that can't eat store bought sprinkles, this is really helpful ❤

[HomesteadHealing]

Wow!! I had no idea I could make these! Great video! Thank you!! I'll be doing this!! Dye free sprinkles are expensive!

[JPRK]

That's a great idea if you need a specific shape or color of sprinkles! I'm saving this for my child's next birthday 😅

What a beautiful song you chose for this video😍😍

I have a child who views the sprinkles as the treat, not the things that get sprinkles on them. This is going to be a life and money saver lol!

[rebeccaspratling]

Thank you! My kids always beg for sprinkles but we avoid synthetic dyes in my home. You're a life saver! 😊💛
