DIY Sprinkles

Not very hard to do and you are able to get the exact colors that you want.

You will need:
Meringue Powder
Regular or Clear Vanilla Extract
Powdered Sugar
Food Coloring
Waxed Paper or Parchment Paper
Decorating Bag
#2 Tip

DIY Sprinkles are made with Icing:
Icing recipe:
1/2 cup Water
3  tbsp. Meringue Powder
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
4 cups Powdered Sugar

Directions:
Mix the water and meringue powder until foamy, then add the vanilla. 
Add sugar and mix until smooth.

Then divide the frosting into to separate bowls for each different color. Add food coloring until you reach your perfect shade.

The load the icing into a decorating bag with a #2 decorating tip.
Pipe lines of royal icing onto a piece of wax or parchment paper.  The lines don’t have to be perfectly straight or the exact same thickness because some variation in size will make the sprinkles more interesting and dimensional. Let the icing lines dry overnight.

Finally, using a sharp knife cut the strips of icing into small sprinkles.  The more varied the sizes the better.  You can cut them very small for more of a sprinkle effect or bigger so they look like jimmies.
