Fondant sprinkles
- 75 g fondant in your favorite colors
- Gel food coloring
- Water
Instructions
Donuts
- For donut sprinkles, melt chocolate in the microwave. Remember to use short intervals of 20 seconds approximately and stir the chocolate in between.Take a piece of Cheerios and dip it into the chocolate to cover only half of it with chocolate. Then, remove the excess using a toothpick. Put the coated Cheerios on waxed paper and top with rainbow sprinkles. Now, let them cool down.
Emojis and Traditional Sprinkles
- For the emoji and traditional sprinkles, you'll use royal icing for the base.
- Start mixing meringue powder with powdered sugar in a bowl.
- Slowly pour water over the ingredients and mix at medium speed. Keep mixing until you get a sticky consistency, like liquid white glue.
- Separate the icing into small bowls to add the gel coloring.
- I used four different colors, so I had four separate small bowls. Distribute your royal icing accordingly.
- Add a few drops of gel food coloring and mix each portion using a clean spoon. Cover the colors you won't use immediately with plastic wrap to protect them.
- Pour tiny yellow circles on a baking tray lined with parchment paper for the emoji sprinkles. Fix the shapes using a toothpick and top with two heart-shaped sprinkles for the eyes.
- Meanwhile, to make conventional sprinkles pour straight lines and dots on another baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- When the emojis are more solid, draw a smile with black icing.
Cookies
- To create cookie sprinkles, draw circles with beige royal icing. Use a toothpick to fix the details and top with crushed Oreos.
- You can draw a white rectangle for the glass of milk or get tiny marshmallows.
Rainbow hearts
- For the hearts, choose fondant in different colors. Grab each piece and roll them to obtain thin strips. Flatten the fondant using a rolling pin and then wet the borders with water using a brush.
- Stick the fondant strips together and stretch with a fondant rolling pin.
- Now, use a tiny cookie-cutter to cut the fondant hearts. Aim for all the colors in each cut.
- To finish, let the sprinkles dry for 10 to 12 hours.
- Separate the sprinkles from the parchment paper carefully. Then, use your sprinkles as you like!
