1. Confetti pancakes

    2 tbsp sprinkles per batch

    Stir them in at the last second so the colors don't bleed.

  2. Rim a glass

    Honey on the rim + sprinkles

    Dip, twist and let it set. Frosting holds them even better.

  3. Fairy bread

    Butter + a heavy shake

  • Know your shapes

    Jimmies are rods, nonpareils are tiny balls, quins are flat shapes, and sanding sugar is big crystals. Dragées, the metallic balls, are often sold as decoration only.

  • Baking them in

    For confetti cake, use jimmies. Nonpareils bleed their color into the batter.

  • Colors and dyes

    Some brands use colors from fruit and vegetables. Check the label if that matters to you.
