Types of Cake Sprinkles

Not sure which type you need? Here's a quick guide to the sprinkle varieties in our range:

Confetti Sprinkles

Confetti sprinkles are flat, disc-shaped decorations that scatter beautifully over frosted cakes and cupcakes. They come in multicoloured mixes or single-colour packs and are perfect for birthdays, celebrations, and any occasion that calls for a pop of fun. Press them gently into buttercream for a smooth finish, or scatter freely for a playful look.

Pastel Sprinkles

Soft pinks, lilacs, mints, and creams — pastel sprinkles are the go-to for baby showers, gender reveals, spring celebrations, and Easter baking. Their delicate tones pair beautifully with white or cream buttercream and add a dreamy, whimsical finish to any cake or cupcake.

Gold & Silver Sprinkles

Nothing elevates a cake like a touch of metallic. Our gold sprinkles range includes shiny gold balls, gold stars, and gold jimmies — perfect for wedding cakes, anniversary desserts, and elegant celebration bakes. Silver sprinkles and rose gold sprinkles complete the metallic range for a sophisticated finish on any occasion. Pair with ivory or white fondant for maximum impact.

Star Sprinkles

Star sprinkles are a versatile favourite — great for birthday cakes, Christmas bakes, and any design that needs a little sparkle. Available in gold, silver, rainbow, and more, they work on both frosted cakes and baked goods straight from the oven.

Heart Sprinkles & Flower Sprinkles

Heart sprinkles are a must-have for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and romantic celebration cakes — available in red, pink, and mixed pastel options. Flower sprinkles are perfect for garden party themes, spring bakes, and adding a delicate botanical touch to cupcakes and cookies. Both are available in single-colour and mixed packs.

Jimmies & Rainbow Jimmies

Jimmies are the classic long, thin sprinkle — soft enough to mix into cake batter without bleeding colour, making them the sprinkle of choice for funfetti cakes and cookies. Rainbow jimmies are particularly popular for bright, multicoloured funfetti bakes. Available in individual colours and multicoloured mixes, they're a pantry staple for any keen baker.

Nonpareils

Nonpareils (also written as "non pareils") are tiny, round, and satisfyingly crunchy — one of the most searched sprinkle types in Australia. They add texture and colour in equal measure and are ideal for coating the sides of layer cakes, finishing cupcakes, and decorating cookies. Available in single colours and mixed packs.

Pearl Sprinkles & Sugar Pearls

Pearl sprinkles — also called sugar pearls or pearl balls — add a lustrous, elegant touch to cakes and cupcakes. Available in white, gold, silver, and pastel shades, they're a favourite for wedding cakes and sophisticated celebration bakes. Our range includes sizes from 2mm to 8mm so you can find the perfect scale for your design.

Sanding Sugar

Sanding sugar gives baked goods a beautiful sparkle and a subtle crunch. Coarser than regular sugar (also known as coarse sugar), it holds its colour and shimmer beautifully after baking — perfect for sugar cookies, cakes, and festive bakes. Available in red, white, and more.

Themed Sprinkle Mixes

Our themed sprinkle mixes are where fun really happens. We stock mermaid sprinkles, dinosaur sprinkles, Bluey sprinkles, and seasonal mixes for Christmas, Easter, Halloween, and Valentine's Day. These curated blends take the guesswork out of decorating and are perfect for themed birthday cakes and celebration bakes.

FAQs About Edible Sprinkles

What are edible sprinkles made of?

Most sprinkles are made from sugar, cornstarch, corn syrup, and food colouring. Some specialty varieties include natural flavours or colourings. Always check the packaging if you have specific dietary requirements.

What is the difference between nonpareils and jimmies?

Nonpareils are tiny, round, and hard with a satisfying crunch. Jimmies (also called rainbow jimmies in multicolour mixes) are soft, elongated sprinkles similar to the classic hundreds and thousands shape. Jimmies are better for mixing into batter, while nonpareils are ideal for coating cake sides and decorating.

What are sugar pearls and pearl sprinkles?

Sugar pearls and pearl sprinkles refer to the same product — round, lustrous balls available in various sizes, typically used for elegant decorating on wedding cakes, cupcakes, and dessert platters. They come in white, gold, silver, and pastel shades.

Are sprinkles gluten-free and vegan?

Many of our sprinkles are gluten-free and/or vegan, but this varies by product and brand. Check the individual product listing for allergen and dietary information, or contact us if you need help finding a specific option.

Can I mix sprinkles into cake batter?

Yes — jimmies are the best type to mix into batter as they hold their shape and don't bleed colour the way nonpareils or confetti can. This is the classic technique for making a funfetti cake.

What sprinkles are best for covering the sides of a cake?

Nonpareils and sanding sugar work best for rolling the sides of a cake — they're fine enough to adhere evenly to buttercream without looking chunky. Pearl balls and jimmies also work well for a bolder look.

Do sprinkles expire?

Sprinkles don't typically spoil but can lose colour, flavour, and texture over time. Most have a best-by date on the packaging — store them in a cool, dry place and use within that period for the best results.

Do you stock Sprinks and Sprink'd?

Yes — both Sprinks and Sprink'd are stocked across our full range. These are two of Australia's most popular sprinkle brands, known for their quality pigmentation, fun designs, and wide variety of styles including jimmies, nonpareils, sanding sugar, pearl sprinkles, confetti, and themed mixes.
