Snowflakes, stars and reindeer
If you want to put a single motif centre stage, choose single-design sprinkles: mini snowflakes, sugar snowflakes, blue or white snowflakes, mini stars, colourful stars, reindeer or fir trees. For a classic look, there are Christmas and X-Mas nonpareils, red mini sugar pearls and metallic green sugar pearls.
Sparkle effects in gold and silver
Add a touch of shine to your baking. Gold and metallic gold sugar pearls, maxi gold pearls, gold nonpareils, medium and metallic silver sugar pearls sparkle on creams and glazes like tiny Christmas tree ornaments. Sprinkle them over cakes, cookies and cupcakes for a shimmering, magical effect. For an even more spectacular result, combine them with edible glitter on a mirror glaze or on your creams. The result is a bright and festive effect, perfect for creating a magical atmosphere at holiday meals. Soft "white medium" sugar pearls and large white sugar pearls, on the other hand, create an elegant snowy look.
Chocolate pearls
More indulgent than sugar decorations, chocolate pearls are perfect for decorating number cakes, cakes, Yule logs or Christmas entremets. They add an elegant finishing touch and taste delicious too. The range includes red, gold and silver chocolate crispy pearls, white crispy pearls with gold flakes, a mini pearl mix with three chocolates and a white and gold pearl mix made of sugar and chocolate. Ideal for chocolate lovers, these pearls will satisfy even the most discerning palates.
How to make the pearls stick perfectly
- On cookies: scatter the sprinkles right after glazing, while the icing or chocolate is still wet.
- On cakes: chill the cake well, then press the pearls onto the lower edge by hand or sprinkle them on with a spoon.
- On cupcakes: pipe the frosting and briefly dip the cupcake upside down into a bowl of pearls.
- Metallic pearls: add them at the very end and keep them dry so they stay shiny.
Combinations and ideas
A white buttercream with snowflakes and silver pearls looks wintry and elegant, while a chocolate cake with the red-gold mix and gold crispy pearls is classic and festive. For children, Reindeer Rumble and Elf Forest are always a hit. For more volume, add figures from our Christmas sugar decor such as gingerbread men or St Nicholas hats.
Christmas sugar pearls bring joy beyond cookie baking too: sprinkle mini stars on hot chocolate, decorate cake pops with snowflakes or add a border of gold pearls around a pavlova. On the dessert buffet, glasses of mousse look extra festive with a pinch of the red-gold mix sprinkled on just before serving. For a gift, fill a jar with homemade cookies and decorate the lid with a handful of sprinkles. Children love to help decorate, so set out several small bowls with different mixes.
Buying guide: what to look out for
Think about how much surface you want to decorate: 50 to 70 g is enough for a few trays of cookies, while the 90 g mixes are better value for cake borders and larger quantities. Pick a colour theme, such as white and silver, red and gold or green and red, and combine no more than two mixes. Keep an eye out for items marked SALE to top up your supplies at a good price.
