Homemade Sprinkles {without corn syrup}
After you make these homemade sprinkles, you'll never want to buy them from the store again! They're made without corn syrup, and naturally dyed.
Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp water
- ¼ tsp matcha for green sprinkles
- ¼ tsp turmeric for yellow sprinkles
- ¼ tsp blue spurilina for blue sprinkles
- ¼ tsp beet powder for red sprinkles
Instructions
- Sift the powdered sugar in a bowl with a sifter or fine mesh strainer to remove any clumps.
- Add the vanilla extract and water. Stir well until a very thick icing forms.
- Separate the icing into four bowls (you'll have about 1 tbsp per bowl) and add 1/4 tsp of natural food coloring to each bowl. Stir well until fully incorporated.
- Spoon the icing into four different piping bags and squeeze it down to the bottom. Cut a small tip off of each piping bag.
- Using a large surface like a cutting board or large baking sheet, add parchment paper. I find it helpful to tape the parchment paper down!
- Working with one color at a time, pipe the icing onto the parchment paper. For classic sprinkles, pipe long lines of each color. You can also pipe hearts, dots, etc! Repeat with all of the icing.
- Allow the sprinkles to dry at room temperature overnight, or for at least 12 hours.
- Using a spatula, break up the lines to make classic sprinkles, or carefully scrape up shapes of sprinkles.
- Add the dried sprinkles to an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place until you're ready to use them!

Notes
I recommend allowing them to dry overnight or at least 12 hours, but this may vary depending on your climate.
