Sprinkles, sprinkles, everywhere!
Hello, hello, my friends! You may have seen me flooding the Instagram universe with sprinklage over the past few weeks, but if not, I’m excited to tell you that my Etsy Sprinkle Shop is open!
There you will find everything from an ever-growing collection of my sprinkle medleys–a term I use for a themed mélange of sprinkles and candies to use for anything from cakes and cookies to ice cream sandwiches and chocolate bark. I make a lot of the jimmies (sugar strands) myself in an array of colours and flavours, and then I incorporate all sorts of specialty sprinkles and bits to make sprinkle magic: sugar beads, sugar pearls, rock crystal candy, silver stars, confetti, quin shapes, and more. Each bottle is one of a kind!
I offer the medleys in both medium and jumbo sized bottles, and I also offer jumbo bottles of my favourite classic sprinkles that I have access to and can ship worldwide (and I add new things every few days!). I also LOVE to do custom sprinkle medleys, so please let me know if there’s something you’d love to order!
You can also access the shop right here on my site, under the tab Sprinkle Shop. Hooray!

Carousel Sprinkle Medley
I officially opened the shop last Sunday (although I technically created the shop sans sprinkles in 2010–I suppose I knew someday I would fill it with products!), and it’s been a flurry of sprinkles ever since. Having a little online shop has been a long-time dream of mine, and thanks to the awesomeness that is Etsy, I can now share and ship my favourite sprinkles (and soon to be other sprinkly items) all over the world.
So far I’ve been happily packaging and shipping my sprinkle babies everywhere from to Bermuda to Bahrain, and it excites me to know that my sprinkles are adorning so many cakes and goodies, and eliciting so many smiles, around the globe!
As I mentioned, all of the sprinkles come in two sizes, and they are packaged in my favourite French plastic milk bottles, which are both several times bigger than typical bottles/jars of sprinkles: 8 oz and 16 oz (volume). Because these sprinkle medleys are often used to cover whole cakes (or sides of cakes), or covering batches of candy and bark, etc. I opted to offer them in these larger sizes.
Maybe it’s just me, but I feel that a teeny, tiny jar of sprinkles is just a teaser, and it limits how we use them in our sweets because you simply never have enough. You know? (And to purchase several bottles of typical sprinkles, ends up costing way too much and it’s a major waste of all of that packaging, which of course we pay for.)
So, I should mention that, in terms of quantity and pricing, it was important to me to create value in the sizes offered–the medium 8 oz bottle (which is NET WT 5.8 oz/165 g) is about 2-3 times the quantity of a typical bottle of sprinkles, and the jumbo 16 oz bottle (NET WT 11.6 oz/330 g) is 4-6 times the quantity of a typical bottle of sprinkles. And since one typical jar/bottle of sprinkles (even the simple ones) can cost up to 8.00 each, I feel really good about the sprinkle pricing.
I ended up using that first medley on the Rainbows & Sprinkles Cake in my book, and have been experimenting ever since with medleys galore. It’s rather addictive!
Here are a few of the medleys in my shop right now:
This is one of my favourite medleys with its enchanting, beachy feel. I call it Mermaid Magic, but my cakelets have assured me that this is also very “Frozen,” and I have to agree. I think this would make for an amazing addition to a beach wedding cake, Frozen party cake, cupcakes, cookies, party spoons, etc. or pretty much anything you can dream up.

Mermaid Magic Sprinkle Medley
The colours and textures in this medley really are magical together, and I love the sparkle and shimmer from the blue crystals, lavender shimmer candy beads, blue shimmer sugar, and so much more.

Happy Unicorn Sprinkle Medley
This one makes me way too happy! Happy Unicorn has such a unique colour combo and, tons of homemade sprinkles, star quins, etc. I was really pleased with the way that hit of pink and white brought it all together.

Confetti, nonpareils and jimmies . . . oh my!

Barbies & Bubblegum Sprinkle Medley
And for us pink enthusiasts, Barbies & Bubblegum Sprinkle Medley! This is the girliest item in the collection (so far), and it literally smells like bubble gum.

Barbies & Bubblegum Sprinkle Medley
Pink, pink, pink! Jumbo pink confetti, pink stars, pink candy pearls, pink shimmer beads, pink hearts and more.

Violet Dreams Sprinkle Medley
There’s something so appealing about shades of purple, and I brought all of my favourite purple sprinkles and candy together to make the ultimate violet sprinkle medley. I love this one, and it was inspired by this medley I created for the Purple Velvet Cake awhile back. Who doesn’t love purple cake?

Violet Dreams Sprinkle Medley
I particularly love the lavender shimmer candy beads and jumbo purple confetti sprinkles but, then again, I don’t think I’ve ever met a sprinkle I didn’t like. :)

Pastel Confetti Sprinkles
And as I mentioned above, I’m also pleased to be able to offer many of my favourite sprinkles in the shop. After reading so many reader comments about how hard it is to get even the simple sprinkles in many parts of the world, I knew I had to offer them! You can even find several varieties of the skinny, slender jimmies sprinkles in my shop–those made here in Canada are unique and apparently in high demand! Yay for Canadian sprinkles!

The happy unicorn medley is wonderful.
The Unicorn Medley is my fav too and I know my little girls would love on their B-day cake.
Right now, the guys at work though are leaning over my shoulder saying…..”dude…what are you looking at” because I’m looking at a girlie girl food blog. You know what, the second they leave my office, I bet they’ll be on your site or they’ll show their wives because they have girls too!!
Thanks so much, Noor! xo
I love all your sprinkles but my favourite is the Jersey Shore Sprinkle Medley!
Love them! I had no idea you were in Newcastle. Hello from Whitby!
Oh wow! Thanks so much, Rhonda! xo

Wow, well done Rosie, these sprinkles are so cool with all of the different colours and shapes, they are even slightly hypnotic! I seriously need to buy some!
Thanks so much, Eve! xo
Congrats on your new Etsy shop – so happy to have another Canadian artisan to buy from. Love the names for the different sprinkles – very creative.
Thank you, Lorrie! I really appreciate it! xo
I love the color combos. I always used to mix sprinkles as a kid (and even now) and I always wished there could be better options. Sprinkles just make you happy, you know?
I need to know how you get the sprinkles to adhere so evenly to the sides of your cake?
I love all these sprinkles…and so happy you’re on Etsy, my favorite place to shop! Can’t wait to make a beautiful sprinkle cake like yours. I can’t decide which are my favorite…violet…mermaid…unicorn, oh my!
Thank you! I love Etsy too–it’s endless and so inspiring! xo
Yay! This is so exciting! Huge congrats to you for introducing these amazing sprinkle blends. They’re gorgeous! Can’t wait to order some. :-)
this post makes me sohappy!! Love all of these sprinkle medleys :D
Thanks so much, Sarah! xo
Congratulations, Rosie. Now I know where I can finally find sprinkles in certain colours that are impossible to buy here. That is if you ship to the UK, of course. :)
Thanks so much, Lisa! I do ship to UK :) xo
What is a quin shape? Can you show us an example?
What a cool idea. You are indeed the queen of sprinkles -Congrats on your new shop!!
Thanks so much! That’s such a sweet comment :) xo
That’s great! I love all of these, but I have to say the violet medley is my favorite! So pretty, Rosie!
Thanks Kimberly! I love that one too :) xo
These sprinkles look so amazing. I am now sad that I just bought 20 different types at the Wilton tent sale. Once I go through those I will be buying from you!
Thanks, Stephanie! xo
Until now, I’ve been resisting the use of sprinkles because of the lack of — sprinkles with what you’ve done here. I’m planning to rethink my baking priorities. Need I say that what you’ve done is genius? Now I’ve to plan for the shipping charges and the ruinous import taxes the Ecuadorian government levies on everything. But it should be worth it.
Congratulations, Rosie!
Thanks, George! :)
This is so so perfect! I love all of those sprinkles variations – they’re so representative of you, your brand, and style. Gorgeous!!
Thank you so much for the sweet comment, Beeta! That means a lot! xo
Hi Rosie!
I’m very happy for you. Your book is wonderful, the sprinkles are beautiful, I love all colors.
So many good things that have happened these past few months. I’m extremely happy, I’m a big fan of your work for years. You deserve this and I wish to continue the good and more.

Thank you so, so much Maribel! xo
What a wonderful sprinkle selection! I know where I’m going for my sprinkles. ;)
Thanks, Michele! On a sidenote, I love that you spell your name with one L! My sister’s name is Michele, spelled that way as well, and I have never met another with that spelling :) xo

The sprinkles are so cute! I love the scale – where is it from?
Oh wow! These are just brilliant! When I first started making sprinkle-themed jewellery I used to look at your cakes for inspiration and always wished I was as talented as you are at sprinkle mixes.
I definitely need to get some of these to take my cakes up a notch and impress all my co-workers ;)
