Instructions for use

- Sprinkle by hand or spoon, with regular movements, for even distribution.
- For border effect, place manually along the edge with a fine spatula.
- Press lightly so the beads stick to the icing before full crystallization.
- Keep leftover beads in the original resealable pouch for later use.

Frequently asked questions
How many cakes can be decorated with one bag?
An 80g bag covers 4 to 8 cakes with light sprinkling, 2 to 4 cakes with generous decoration. An 800g bag (workshop size) covers 40 to 80 cakes depending on decoration density.
How to prevent the beads from becoming sticky?
Sprinkle at the last moment before serving. Keep the bag tightly sealed. Store away from moisture, ideally in a closed dry cupboard.
Compatible with which type of icing?
Compatible with fondant, ganache, whipped cream, royal icing, and drip cake. Beads stick better on icing that is still slightly wet, before full crystallization.
Difference with Granules or Vermicelli?
Mini Beads are spherical (2-3mm), Granules are irregular (~1mm), Vermicelli are elongated (~5mm). Choose Mini Beads for a spherical decorative effect, Vermicelli for an elongated confetti effect.
