You can’t go wrong with a classic. These PME nonpareils are the real deal – the colours are bright without looking artificial, and they have that proper crunchy texture. They adhere well to buttercream and fondant, making them a reliable workhorse for any professional decorator. It's a small detail, but using quality sprinkles really elevates the final product from homemade to professional.

- Top-Tier Quality: The colours stay distinct and don't bleed easily on most icings.
- Small Volume: For high-output bakeries, this 80g pot will disappear very quickly.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Sweet Emporium, a popular confectioner in Norwich, needed to source consistent, high-quality sprinkles for their signature decorated doughnuts. Their previous supplier's product often had dull colours and caused issues with freshness once opened.
"These PME sprinkles are fantastic. The colours are always so bright and they just look professional. Our customers have even commented on them! The screw-top pot is a simple but brilliant feature that keeps them from going stale or spilling, which honestly saves us hassle and money."
Robert Davies – Head Baker
By switching to the PME HU222 sprinkles, the bakery ensured every doughnut had the same vibrant, appealing finish, reinforcing their brand's commitment to quality.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting the Best Results
- For a perfect stick, apply sprinkles immediately after frosting your cake or cupcake, while the icing is still wet and tacky.
- To avoid colours bleeding into light-coloured batters, use them exclusively as a topping rather than mixing them in before baking.
- For a delicate, even coating, try pouring some into a small shaker with fine holes.
- Gently press them into the sides of a cake using a palette knife or your hand for full coverage.
Keeping Them Fresh
- Always screw the lid on tightly after each use to protect against air and moisture.
- Store the pot in a cool, dry place like a cupboard or pantry, away from direct sunlight.
- Keep them away from heat sources like ovens or hobs, which can cause them to melt or clump.
- Avoid storing near strong-smelling ingredients like coffee or spices, as they can absorb odours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are nonpareils?
A: They are a type of sprinkle made from sugar and starch, known for being tiny, opaque, and perfectly round spheres that are hard and crunchy.
Q: Is there a difference between 'nonpareils' and '100s and 1000s'?
A: No, they are the same thing. '100s and 1000s' is the traditional name commonly used in the UK and Australia for nonpareil sprinkles.
Q: Do the colours in these sprinkles bleed?
A: PME sprinkles have excellent colour stability. On fresh buttercream or wet icing, very minimal bleeding might occur over a long period, but they generally hold their colour very well.
Q: Can I bake with these sprinkles?
A: It's not recommended. They are designed as a topping and can dissolve or bleed their colour when baked into batters.
Q: How many cakes can an 80g pot decorate?
A: This depends entirely on your application! For a light sprinkling, it could cover dozens of cupcakes, but for heavily coating a full-size cake, you might use a significant portion of the pot.
Q: Are these sprinkles suitable for a vegan or gluten-free diet?
A: Formulations can change, so we strongly advise checking the ingredients and allergen statement on the physical packaging before use to ensure they meet your dietary requirements.
Q: How do I get them to stick to dry cookies or biscuits?
A: You'll need a sticky medium. A light brush of sugar syrup, edible glue, or a thin layer of icing will give the sprinkles something to adhere to.
Q: How should I store them to maximise freshness?
A: Always keep the screw-top lid on tightly and store in a cool, dry cupboard away from sunlight and strong odours.
The PME Promise: Consistency in Every Pot
In the world of professional baking and cake decorating, consistency is currency. That's the core advantage of choosing a brand like PME. With over 60 years of experience, PME has built its reputation on creating products that bakers can trust, day in and day out. When you buy these multicoloured nonpareils cake sprinkles, you're not just buying a topping; you're buying the peace of mind that comes from knowing the colours will be just as vibrant in your next batch as they were in your last. This reliability is crucial for businesses that pride themselves on a signature look. It means no more unpleasant surprises with dull, waxy, or inconsistent sprinkles from cheaper sources. Investing in PME is an investment in your own brand's quality, ensuring every finished product that leaves your kitchen looks impeccably professional and utterly delicious.
Explore more from PMEWhy a Resealable Pot is a Baker's Best Friend
It might just look like a plastic pot, but the resealable screw-top lid on these PME HU222 sprinkles is a thoughtful touch designed for busy kitchens. Sprinkles are notoriously tricky; they absorb moisture from the air, which can make them clump together or lose their crunch. A simple pop-top or bag just doesn't cut it.
Think of this screw-top lid like the airtight seal on a mason jar. It locks out air and humidity, keeping the nonpareils perfectly fresh and crunchy from the first sprinkle to the last. More importantly, it prevents the dreaded 'sprinkle explosion' – one knock of a poorly sealed container can send thousands of tiny beads scattering across your work surface and floor. This secure pot minimises waste and cleanup time, a small but significant victory on a busy day.
