That’s right…I finally did it! I made my own homemade sprinkles! I have been putting this off for a while now and to be honest, I’m not really sure why. For some reason I thought they were going to be very a hard to make. But, it turns out I could not have been more wrong.
The game changer for me was my Instagram friend @awwsam. She made them a few weeks ago and they turned out amazing. So when she told me they were super easy to make, I decided it was time to stop being such a baby. After all, I do run a blog called Sprinkles for Breakfast.
In short, I love Sprinkles and I will be making homemade ones a lot more often now. If you like Sprinkles at all…I suggest you give them a try! And be on the look out next week because I am going to give you guys a fun way to use your DIY Sprinkles that you won’t want to miss.
