Mini sugar balls
Approximately 1 mm micro sugar balls and nonpareils, in solid or multicolored shades: fine, even coverage for cake pops, cupcakes, and cake borders.
What makes them unique
Their approximately 1 mm size provides uniform coverage that is impossible to achieve with larger sprinkles: complete coating of a cake pop, a clean border on a layer cake, or a colorful base for an iced cookie. Solid colors create precise blocks of color, while multicolored blends produce the classic festive donut effect.
Application techniques
For a complete coating, dip the cake pop in the icing, then immediately roll it in a bowl of sugar balls. For a cake border, press the balls onto freshly smoothed cream with the palm of your hand while rotating the turntable. On cookies, sprinkle them over still-wet royal icing and shake off the excess after 30 seconds.
Frequently asked questions
Mini sugar balls or sugar pearls?
Mini sugar balls cover a surface, while pearls are placed as individually visible elements. Both work well together in the same decoration.
How much should you plan for a border?
Approximately 60 to 80 g for the base of a 15 cm diameter cake, more for a full-height coating.
Do they bleed?
Once the surface has set, no. Avoid prolonged contact with very moist cream for dark colors.
