Who is this choice relevant to?

Organisers of large baking sessions for children

For a party, school activity or several families, a box of nine packs can be useful if you’re planning several baking sessions and have somewhere dry to store the packs.

Families decorating cupcakes or cakes together

For one planned baking session, a single 270 g pack gives you a smaller quantity of crushed aniseed sprinkles for cupcakes, cakes or other bakes.

Shoppers who check ingredients carefully

If you need to consider ingredients or allergens, check the label on the pack you’ve chosen before use. The retail pack described lists wheat and gluten.

What should you look for when choosing?

Decide how many baking sessions you’re planning before choosing a pack size. Then check that the aniseed flavour suits your recipe and read the nutritional information on the pack you’ll be using.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Quantity and stock Compare a single 270 g pack with a box of 9 x 270 g; if you’re planning an activity, confirm the box’s delivery time. If I’m decorating for lots of guests or several baking sessions, I want to have enough without storing more packs than I’ll use. Around 38% of shoppers put the quantity they need first.
Flavour and use Check that the aniseed flavour suits your recipe; a single pack lets you try a smaller quantity. For cupcakes or cake, I want to know whether crushed aniseed sprinkles will work with the finish I have in mind. The decoration they want is the first consideration for around 31% of shoppers.
Ingredients and labelling Read the current ingredients, allergen and nutritional information on the pack you receive. When I’m baking for children with dietary restrictions, I need to know what’s in the topping before using it. For around 31% of shoppers, checking the label comes first.

Common mistakes

  • Choosing a bulk box without counting your baking sessions

    A box of 9 x 270 g contains 2.43 kg in total. For a single cake or one batch of cupcakes, you could end up with more unused packs than you intended.

    Work out how many times you’ll be baking and how much decoration you’ll need. Then choose between a single pack and a box, making sure you have a dry place to store any leftovers.

  • Assuming all aniseed products are the same topping

    Crushed aniseed sprinkles and aniseed hundreds and thousands are different products. Even products with a similar flavour can have different ingredients and nutritional values.

    Check the label on the exact variety you want to use, especially if wheat, gluten or sugar content is a concern.

  • Assuming the delivery time for a bulk box is guaranteed

    Kantinewinkel.nl asks customers to check the delivery time for its box of 9 x 270 g. Without a confirmed delivery date, you can’t treat delivery as a fixed part of your plans.

    Confirm the delivery date before planning to use the box for a party or baking activity for children.
