Choose crushed aniseed sprinkles if you want a different, less coarse texture for a cake or cupcakes; crushed does not mean they come in a confirmed mini size. Choose whole Feestmuisjes or a coloured variety if you want the visible colour to match your cake theme. Measure out the amount you sprinkle yourself, and check the label for ingredients and allergens before use.
Want to finish a cake or cupcakes with crushed rather than whole aniseed sprinkles? Gestampte Muisjes are a different product form, but they are not a confirmed mini size. PLUS lists them as a decoration for cakes and cupcakes.
If you want the colour to stand out on your cake, you can choose between whole Feestmuisjes and a specific colour variety. Albert Heijn and PLUS product information mentions using them on cakes or cupcakes.
If you want to measure out the decoration or need to take allergens into account, check the nutritional information and the current label. Voedingscentrum emphasises the importance of label information for food allergies.
First decide whether you want a crushed texture or visible whole sprinkles. Then consider the colour and how much you want to scatter over your cake; a serving size on the pack is not a guide to how much to use on a whole cake.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Texture and quantity | Check whether the pack says Gestampte Muisjes.

Around 45% of consumers considering aniseed sprinkles for cake decorating put this need first. |
| Colour and cake theme | Check the colour variety and whether you are buying whole or crushed sprinkles. PLUS describes Feestmuisjes and blue and white sprinkles as cake decorations. | I want the colour of the topping to match the theme of my celebration cake. Around 22% of these consumers prioritise this colour choice. |
| Sugars and allergens | Read the nutritional information and allergen declaration on the current pack, paying particular attention to wheat and gluten if these are relevant to you. | I want to know what I’m sprinkling over my cake and need to check the ingredients before serving it. Around 33% of these consumers put this check at the top of their list. |
