6 reasons to use cake sprinkles

Using confectionery toppers, glitter sugars, sugar crunches, sprinkle shapes or any kind of cake sprinkle is a trend but can you tell us why it is so? Only for decoration? Of course that’s the basic idea but there are other reasons too. 

Sprinkles are tasty
 
Jelly beans, sugar crunches, slices and sugary sprinkle shapes— those are so yummy that we just cannot help but sprinkle on the cakes as much as we can. 

We can eat them just like that
 
Forget decorating a cake. When you’ve got a cupboard full of fudges, gold shimmer chocolate chips, glimmer sugar pearls… just open the pouches, tubs or packs, whenever you feel like, and grab a handful, just like that. 

Make children eat the bases
 
Children often refuse to eat cakes and cookies if those are not garnished with premium toppings. To make them eat, we need to shed hard labour. We need to cover the bases with creamy and tasty icings and then sprinkle tasty adornments so that we can persuade them to eat the bases.  

To trigger envy
 
An innovatively designed cake topped with edible glitter sand, sprinkle shapes or confectionery toppers, placed right in the middle of a laid out dinner table can actually make your guests feel envious. They will praise but will also feel jealous.

Most of the time the story ends with a counter invitation where the hostess tries hard to prove that she can do the art better than you. 

To impress your sweetheart
 
A cupcake platter with icing swirls and sprinkles on the top, served to your sweetheart with evening tea can make a nice impression. And of course you have too many occasions round the year to show how good you are in baking and decorating cakes for birthdays, anniversaries, Halloween or Christmas.  

To boost your mood
 
If you are in love with icing, jelly beans, sprinkles, choco chips, meringues and so on, try cake decoration as an instant mood booster. It’s healing.

How to use the choco-writers: 5 steps

Have you ever used the choco-writing tubes? Forget the home-made pastry bags that make you clumsy in chocolate decorations. Buy the tubes that can help you design lattice shapes or write a wish message in cursive writing without fretting around. 

Choco-writing tubes are available in milk, dark and white chocolate but before you buy make sure that the company uses pure chocolate and does not mix any artificial flavour or fat. 

We never use anything artificial in our products but not all the cake decoration suppliers are that responsible. 

Please follow the simple steps mentioned below and delve into creativity—

Step one
 
Put the tubes inside a jug full of piping hot water and wait for at least 5 minutes. The chocolate inside will take that much of time to melt. 

Step two
 
Keep a clean kitchen towel ready on the table beside the jug. Now use a scissor tong to pick the tubes out of the water and put them on the towel. Wrap the tubes by folding the ends of the towel. Try to wipe off the water.

Step Three 
 
Remove the jug and the tong from the table or set aside. Put on your oven gloves. Now you can hold the tubes at ease. Snip off the nozzle and get started to write a message on a cake or make some swirly patterns on the frosting. 

Step Four
 
To make lattice shapes or chocolate laces you’ll need to spread a thick bunch of pastry papers, the kind of paper we use to make pastry bags, on a tray. Pile at least 6/7 to make it thick enough. Now start designing. Make any shape—a heart, a swirl, a zig-zag, letters, words—anything. 

Step Five 
 
Let the shapes cool down. Wait for a couple of minutes and then put the tray inside the refrigerator. Leave it for an hour and then you’ll get them ready to serve.

Make sure to buy safe glitter sands

Are you sure that the cake glitter sand you have just bought and spread over your cupcake or pastry is safe to eat? This may stir up confusions, anxieties and trigger panic attacks if your kid has already gulped it all. 

Of course, you should have been more careful. It’s the matter of your health, your family’s health most importantly. You will never be able to forgive yourself if this non-edible dust would cause some critical illness. 

Yes, it happens. If you cannot believe in our words, put a search on Google and see what people are talking about confectionery toppers, cake sprinkles, cake decorations which are not free of artificial colours, flavours and harmful hydrogenated fats. 

Since inception, years back, we have tried to make our customers aware of these issues. We are a responsible cake decoration seller and we feel that we should take it as a social responsibility, to educate people on this matter. 

We hope you remember what happened with actress Sarah Hadland on The Great British Bake Off show on BBC2, just three years back. 

She did not know whether the glitter sand she had used on the show was edible or not and that stirred a lot of events back then. 

The news went viral and made quite an impact. Hobbycraft cleared the racks of their 61 stores and a number of companies had to change their products and packaging. 

The worst mistake a buyer can do is buying products without enquiring what lies inside or what the product is made of. Smart buyers spend a considerable time reading each and every word printed on the packs. 

They take time before adding to the cart. They first learn about the specifications, increase their knowledge, gather as much information as possible and then select the best one. 

We mean the ‘safest’ one. 

Since cake decorations are mostly consumed by children, you should be extra careful. Next time you visit a store or shop online, check whether the products are free of artificial substances.

Jelly beans, dolly mixtures, the chamber and you

Once again we shall ask you to imagine something and you know we are good at it. If you are honestly obsessive about the cake decorations and cake sprinkles, you shall go weak on the knees.

Now close your eyes and dream about a castle, much like one which you have seen in the movie ‘Beauty and the Beast’. You have suddenly stumbled upon a pebble and... Magic. 

The grey castle is right in front of you. There is no one around, not even a bird. Only trees are quietly shedding yellowed, withered leaves. You are gently stepping inside the enormous house, trembling. 

The chandelier has gone old but still showing you the smoky hallway that leads to the dining chamber. This may remind you of ‘Great Expectations’ and with your heart pounding you move step by step to that room where awaits... Something.

You gather enough courage and reach the door. ‘To knock or not to knock’-- when this clutters your mind, you feel a chill in your back, your body is almost paralysed.

Half-faint you finally push the door and... Whoa!

There is no old lady in ghostly attire, no antique candle-stand or dust covered china lying on the table.

The room is shiny and bright, full of colours and fragrance. The table is full of tubs, piled with red-orange-yellow jelly beans, sugar crunches, dolly mixtures, meringue drops, choco chunks, sprinkle shapes, micro-mallows and so on.

You go crazy, you go mad like you have found the treasure cave of that Arabian Night story.

Now, what are you waiting for? Do you want the Ogre of the castle, sleeping somewhere inside to wake up and make you his dinner?

No? Then be quick. Open your tote or the napsack. Come on, this scene is from a story but you are real. Stuff your bag with whatever you can and rush for the door.

Let us see whether the cake sprinkles stolen from the giant’s castle vanish like the Cinderella story or you can taste a mouthfull.

Go by the checklist before buying cake decorations

Before you step out for shopping or shop online, please go by the checklist below--

• Do look for the products that are safe for health. By that we mean there should not be any kind of artificial colour or flavour.

• All the cake decorations and any other confectionery product that you buy should be free of hydrogenated fats since these are extremely harmful for health and can trigger cardio-vascular diseases, even cancer.

• Buy exactly the quantity you require. There are sellers who offer all sort of decorations in sachets, pots, tubs and cartons. Select the shop or the website where you can have that flexibility. There is no point in buying more than you need. Money is always hard-earned.

• Do buy ready-to-use icing tubes and frosting tubes since that will save a lot of time. Reputed suppliers always keep them in a range of colours and also in twin-colour options. 

• Do not simply jump on every lucrative product that catches your attention. Make a plan first. Decide the menu, the recipe, the ingredients and the decorations. Then do the shopping. 

• Make sure to include in your coterie at least one writing icing tube, one frosting, one pack of jelly beans, at least one kind of glitter sand, an assorted pack of sprinkle shapes and at least one kind of chocolate sprinkles if you have a strict budget issue.

A beautifully decorated cake or cup-cake is surely a feast to eyes. It catches the heart much earlier before having its first bite. Decorating a cake is not very difficult art.

The manufacturers and suppliers of cake decorative provide all those decorative stuff that any creative cake decoration artist need- be it impression goodies, variety of texture ideas, fondant accents, delicate petal dust or shiny glaze effects. You just need to go to a nearby baking shop or visit online for unlimited range of cake pans, cake boxes, paste colors, fondant molds, icing tubes and sprinkle decorations. To guide and illustrate the newcomers in cake artistry, many publication houses and famous culinary writers have published their baking books. As per technical advancement, the cake decoration ideas and techniques are also available in the form of DVDs. All these have made the cake decoration a fabulous and unique experience.

Ready-to-use Icing tubes are fun

Cut all the hassles of decorating a cake and buy ready-to-use icing tubes. Cake decoration is one of the most creative food activities that people enjoy doing for hours, only to find an excuse to remain engaged with the colours, creams, chocolates, gels etc. as long as possible.

When you are decorating a cake, your mind should be relaxed, focussed on the design and you should have all the ingredients perfectly ready right in front of you. If you are still dwelling with the traditional icing tubes, passed on to you from your mother or any other senior members of the family, it is time to switch to the ready-to-use icing tubes and enjoy the fun.

These filled-in tubes are sold in a range of colours and flavours. You can get writing tubes in different hues, designer tubes in a number of tube shapes, glitter gel tubes in blue, pink, purple and chocolate writing tubes in a variety of options like dark chocolate, milk chocolate or caramel etc. Decorating a cake is as easy as filling a painting sketch with colours.

The best part of these tubes is that you can involve the toddlers of the house in the decoration session. They are the true lovers of edible colourful sugars, chocolates and gels. Of course they will not wait until the design is done and gulp the icings more often. You may run out of tubes sometimes and there lies the real fun.

Instead of getting angry or scolding them, remain prepared beforehand. Buy as many tubes as possible. These are not expensive but never buy any kind of edible decoration that is not labeled as free of artificial colour, flavour or hydrogenated fats. You should never forget that if you want to keep your family away from health issues, you should always check whether these are made of 100% natural ingredients or not.

Edible sprinkles should be 100% natural

When you are buying cake sprinkles you should always look for cake decorations which are made of 100% natural ingredients. Any kind of artificial colour or flavour can cause serious health issues and since most of the time we see children grabbing the sprinkles, you need to be extra cautious while buying such decorations. 

Cake sprinkles add life to the cakes and we all love sparkling glitter sands, sugar strands, pearls, toppers, sprinkle stars and sugar crunches in vibrant colours. No matter what your age is, these are simply irresistible. Leave out the children, even the most senior member of the family cannot resist the temptation of swiftly picking the stars or crunches in secret. 

This is the reason you should triple check before picking a pack of sprinkles from the supermarket or adding to your cart. For the latter you need to be more careful and if the website does not claim to sell sprinkles without artificial colours or flavours, you should stay away from that seller. 

Besides many sprinkle makers use ingredients that are not up to the mark in terms of food grade and very commonly they use harmful hydrogenated fats.

These are unnatural fats which are absolutely detrimental for health. Hydrogenation means forcibly adding hydrogen into polyunsaturated oil so that the oil can solidify at room temperatures. These solidified fats are used as cheaper substitutes of butter in various confectionery products and edible cake decorations.

Unlike the naturally hardened saturated fats these hydrogenated fats are difficult to metabolise. These are not excreted in the normal process and remain stuck in the blood circulations, causing cardiovascular diseases and sometimes cancer.

It is true that unless you are a medical professional or a nutritionist, you may not know all these and many sprinkle suppliers take advantage of this general lack of awareness.

Decorate a cake, if you are feeling bored

Apparently there are 1001 ways to chase boredom away but if you are someone who never lets an occasion pass by without celebrating it with a rich cake, layered with thick creams and added with sparkling, colourful cake decorations, it is the cake that can save you from boredom. 

Decorated cakes are simply intriguing and great mood-boosters, not only as eatables. The aesthetics of the decoration fills up our minds with a happy and positive feeling. How many times have you stopped by the windows of confectioners and served yourself with the eye-treats? The colours and glitters of decoration are capable of freshening up the souls almost instantly.

So, if you are feeling bored, simply start decorating a cake. If you do not feel like going through the pre-decoration phase, go out and buy the simplest of cakes available at your local shop. Buy a handful of icing tubes, gel concentrates, creams, sprinkles, glitters and then start playing with them. You are bound to lose the track of time within a few minutes. The activity will readily lift up your spirit and brighten your mood. 

Let your imagination fly like a bird and keep painting the plateau of cream with the flowers, stars, glitter sand, sugar strands, choco-chips and whatever you like. These are all available in small sachet packets. You will not have to spend pounds to buy a range of them but these tiny elements can act as precious brushstrokes to an empty and dull mindscape.

Ask any psychologist and he will say that making yourself busy with a creative activity is one of the best ways to combat boredom and depression.
The more creative ideas mean the more effective results. And if you still feel sceptic, why don’t you give it a try, at least for once?
