How to cover a cake with gold sprinkles

Covering your cake with gold food sprinkles will add a touch of glamour and elegance. Here's how to achieve a gorgeous glittering golden sprinkle effect on your cakes.

1. Place your frosted cake on a cake turntable or stand for easy access, and set a large tray or a piece of parchment paper beneath to catch excess gold sprinkles.
2. Ensure your frosting is tacky enough to hold the gold sprinkles. If it's too dry, mist the cake with water or edible spray mist. 
3. Sprinkle from above for light coverage. Take a small handful of golden sprinkles and gently shower them over the cake from a few inches above. Rotate the cake to ensure even coverage.
4. For a solid gold effect, gently press them against the cake sides.
5. Use an offset spatula or your fingers to adjust uneven spots and carefully press the gold sprinkles into places with thin coverage. 
6. Create patterns or clusters, or let your creative juices flow with a unique design.
7. Finally, remove stray sprinkles from the cake board or plate and collect the excess to reuse.
