Who is this relevant for?

Baking cupcakes for a group

If you’re baking several batches, add up the amount required by the recipes before you buy. Albert Heijn Allerhande’s recipe for 24 mini cupcakes uses 230 g of crushed aniseed sprinkles.

Organising a baby shower or gender reveal

If colour matters, whole sprinkles may work better than crushed ones for decoration or filling. Check which type the recipe step calls for.

Checking for allergens

The crushed and whole sprinkles discussed here list wheat and cereals containing gluten. If you need to avoid these ingredients, check the current packaging.

What should you look for when choosing?

First check whether the recipe calls for crushed or whole sprinkles. Then add up the grams needed for everything you’re baking and check the label.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Quantity Add up the grams needed for all parts of the recipe and compare the total with the net weight. According to Albert Heijn, a bag of De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes contains 270 g. When I’m baking for a group, I want enough sprinkles for everything planned, without running short halfway through. Quantity is the top priority for around 45% of consumers.
Shape and colour Check whether the recipe calls for crushed sprinkles or whole ones for visible decoration or filling. For a cake with a colour theme, I want sprinkles that remain visible and suit the filling. Shape and colour come first for around 33% of consumers.
Label and storage Check the packaging for ingredients, allergens, the best-before date and storage instructions. If I need to check ingredients or bake in advance, I want to know what’s in the bag and how to store it. Checking the label is the top priority for around 22% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a larger bag contains more crushed sprinkles

    De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes, 270 g, and the 330 g Feestmuisjes and Blauwe en witte muisjes listed by Albert Heijn are different product types. A greater weight of whole sprinkles doesn’t make them interchangeable with crushed sprinkles in a recipe.

    Check the product name and the relevant recipe step before choosing based on bag size.

  • Only adding up the amount for one part of a recipe

    Albert Heijn Allerhande’s recipe for 24 mini cupcakes already uses 230 g of crushed aniseed sprinkles. If you’re making another recipe or adding extra decoration, count those amounts separately.

    Make a list of the grams needed for each part of the recipe, then compare the total with the contents of the bag.

  • Relying on a product page alone to check for allergens

    The varieties discussed list wheat and cereals containing gluten. Ingredient information on a product page may change and is no substitute for checking the label on the packaging you’re using.

    Before use, check the ingredients and allergens on the current packaging.
