Decorative sprinkles are small, colorful toppings used to enhance the appearance of desserts like cakes, cookies, and ice cream. They come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, including traditional round shapes, stars, and hearts. Made primarily from sugar, they can also include edible glitter or chocolate. These sprinkles add a fun and festive touch to baked goods, making them popular for celebrations such as birthdays and holidays. They are often used in conjunction with frosting or chocolate to help them adhere to the surface of the dessert, creating an appealing visual effect.
