First of all, what are sprinkles?
The easiest answer is to compare them to the classic chocolate chips, they are even known as colored sprinkles, and also as carnival shower.
They are delicate edible sugary pieces, their name in English means “sprinkle”, and today, these candies have become so universal that they are found everywhere, in various sizes, shapes and colors.
Use of the sprinkles
The main use of these candies is the decoration of confectionery, giving a touch of color and delicacy that makes the difference between a simple product and one with a premium presentation, but obviously everything consists of the arrangement and distribution that is given.
The second use is to create a contrast in the texture of the dessert. When tasting a pastry with these sprinkles, the journey begins with the eyes, or perhaps the nose when it is freshly prepared and its perfume fills the room. When taking the first bite, the original flavor of the dessert is combined with the sweetness of the sparks, creating a subtle or explosive combo, depending on the preparation, and a contrast between the soft bread and the crunchy sparks.
