Technique/Terminology Thursday: Tinting Sugars, Sprinkles, and Coconut

I learned a fun and easy trick from McCormick that allows me to color my sugars, sprinkles, and coconut shavings! Just follow these simple steps!


1. Place the sprinkles (or sugar or coconut shavings) in a container with a tight fitting lid. Add a few drops of McCormick food color.


2. Seal the container and shake well until the color has evenly coated the sprinkles. If you need a darker shade, add a few more drops of coloring and shake well again.

3. Spread the sprinkles onto a plate and let air dry for about 15 minutes. Break up any lumps before use. These can be stored in a cool dry place for several weeks!


This is a great way to perfectly match your sprinkles to your icing and it really easy! Come back on Saturday and see how I used these to decorate some adorable spring-themed cupcakes!!


McCormick provided me with the above mentioned tip as well as the products mentioned. No other compensation was received and the views expressed here are my own.
