For a tea party without a set colour theme, 330 g Party Aniseed Sprinkles are a practical choice. Pink and white or blue and white sprinkles suit a chosen colour scheme, while 270 g Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles offer a finer topping. For a larger gathering, plan how many individual packs you need based on what you want to serve, and check the label on the pack you buy if anyone has allergies.
Who are these options for?
Hosts planning a colourful tea party
You’re looking for sprinkles for several guests, without matching the table to a single colour theme. PLUS describes Party Aniseed Sprinkles as a topping for bread and crispbread, among other things, and as a yoghurt topping.
Hosting a birth celebration or themed party
You want the sprinkles to suit a pink and white or blue and white theme. Jumbo lists these colour options as separate 330 g packs.
Anyone who prefers a finer topping
You’d rather serve crushed sprinkles than whole ones. PLUS suggests using Crushed Aniseed Sprinkles on bread, crispbread and yoghurt.

-
Assuming you’ll get a bulk pack
Jumbo and PLUS list the varieties discussed in individual packs of 270 g or 330 g. One pack may not contain as much as you have in mind for a large table.
First decide what you want to serve the sprinkles on, then work out how many individual packs you’ll need based on the net weight.
-
Choosing a colour before you’ve settled on a theme
Pink and white or blue and white sprinkles suit a specific look. If you haven’t settled on a colour theme, you could also consider a mixed party variety.
First decide whether colour matters, then choose your variety.

Waiting until the day of the party to check the pack
