I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
- Prepare four baking trays with parchment paper, set aside. (I used two trays & rotated the first batch in the oven).
- Place the icing sugar in the bowl 3 seconds/speed 4. To remove any lumps, remove around 2/3 of the icing sugar into a small bowl and set aside.
- Scrape down sides of the bowl and Insert butterfly. Add cornflour, glucose syrup, water & vanilla essence.
- While mixing at 2 minutes/speed 4, spoon in the remaining sugar. If the mixture becomes to thick for the blades, stop immediately, remove butterfly, add a drop of water and continue until all the sugar is in.
- Scrape down the sides, then either add colour and mix on speed 4 or portion into separate bowls. Icing mixture should be thick enough that it takes over 10 seconds to fall off a spoon.
- Place icing mixture into a piping bag with a small round tip (#4). I wouldn’t recommend a ziplock bag as it tends to burst.
- Pipe lines across the baking sheet in a thin consistent stream, keep the lines close together as they should not spread. This can be tricky at first, but after a few lines you should be right.
- **It requires patience and a strong hand. I switched hands every few strokes and took a two hour break in between piping**
(Just cover your icing tip in glad wrap). - Once you have finished a tray, place it into the oven with the oven light switched on. Leave for 2-4 hours.
Or leave overnight. May take up to 48 hours depending on humidity. - Remove your icing strips from the oven and either break up with a knife or with your fingers to desired length.
Combine and store in a glad bag or an airtight container. - Spread each colour in a thin strip on a sheet of parchment paper and place it into the oven with the oven light switched on. Leave for 4+ hours.
Or leave in a dry place overnight. May take up to 48 hours depending on humidity and the thickness of your strips. - Flake off each colour, crumble into pieces, then chop and sift, to achieve uniform pieces. (See tips in regards to sizes).
Combine and store in a glad bag or an airtight container.

Homemade sprinkles
Homemade “speckled” sprinkles
Tip
When chopping down to size, be mindful of how you wish to use these sprinkles.
The size I made were perfect for cookies.
However the larger “speckled” sprinkles sunk in my funfetti cake. They performed much better when resized to around 2mm pieces
