If you’re baking a cake to share, the 330 g pack of whole De Ruijter Muisjes listed by Jumbo contains more than the 270 g crushed variety. Choose Feest Muisjes for a mix of colours, blue and white or pink and white for a colour theme, or crushed Muisjes if you prefer that product style. Check the net weight and allergens on the pack you buy.
If you’re decorating a cake or cupcakes to share, check the net weight first. Jumbo lists whole De Ruijter Muisjes in 330 g packs and crushed Muisjes in 270 g packs; how much you need depends on what you’re baking and the decoration you have in mind.
For a new-baby celebration, baby shower or other themed cake, you can choose sprinkles to match your colour scheme. Jumbo lists blue-and-white and pink-and-white De Ruijter Muisjes, both in 330 g packs.
If you need to take food allergies or coeliac disease into account when serving, read the label on the variety you buy. Jumbo lists wheat and cereals containing gluten in De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes.
Before choosing sprinkles for a cake you’re sharing, decide what matters most to you: pack size, product style, colour or ingredients. Aniseed-flavoured sugar strands are a different type of decoration from whole or crushed Muisjes.
