Description: This is a closeup look at some sprinkles. I imagine it would be a lot of fun to own a sprinkle machine and make my own sprinkles. I could make them any color and shape and I'd even add some unique flavors to them. I've often wondered why some sprinkles don't have any taste. What's the point in being small, fun to eat, and brightly colored if you don't taste like anything? Ah well, at least sprinkles are usually found on top of tasty things. I guess that sort of makes up for their lack of flavor.

Sprinkle Terminology: What consumers call "sprinkles" actually covers several types of candy decorations which are sprinkled informally over a surface rather than placed in specific spots. Sanding sugar; crystal sugar; nonpareils; silver, gold, and pearl dragées — not to be confused with pearl sugar (which is also sprinkled on baked goods); and hundreds-and-thousands are all used this way, along with a newer product called "sugar shapes" or "sequins". These latter come in a variety of shapes for holidays or themes, such as Halloween witches and pumpkins, or flowers and dinosaurs.

Sprinkles In Cake: An interesting alternative use for sprinkles is the confetti cake. In this dessert, sprinkles are mixed with the batter, where they slowly dissolve and form little dots, giving the appearance of confetti. Confetti cakes are popular for children's birthdays in the United States. The Pillsbury Company sells its own variation known as "Funfetti" cake, incorporating a sprinkle-like substance into the mix.
