Black Sugar Strands

Black sugar strands are classic edible cake sprinkles made to add a bold finish and a satisfying crunch to sweet bakes. They have a clean, glossy look that stands out beautifully against buttercream, icing and chocolate, making them ideal for birthdays, Halloween bakes, monochrome themes and modern dessert styling. Use them as a final sprinkle over cupcakes, traybakes and biscuits, press them into the sides of a celebration cake, or scatter them over ice cream and pudding for instant texture. If you are searching for black sprinkles for cake decorating, edible black sprinkles for baking, or bulk sprinkles for home baking, this 500g pack is a practical choice for regular bakers and keen dessert makers.

Key Features:

• Pack size 500g.
• Colour black for high contrast decoration.
• Strand style sprinkles for a neat, modern finish.
• Great for topping desserts, cakes and bakes when you want crunch and colour impact.

Recipe Inspiration:

• Black and white birthday cake. Press black sugar strands onto the sides of a white buttercream cake and finish with a simple chocolate drip.
• Halloween cupcakes: Swirl chocolate frosting, add a few themed toppers, then scatter black sugar strands for a sharp, graphic look.
• Sprinkle rim hot chocolate. Dip the mug rim in melted chocolate, roll in black sugar strands, then serve with whipped cream.
• Chocolate bark: Break up melted dark or white chocolate on a tray, scatter black sugar strands with nuts or dried fruit, then snap into shards once set.

How do you get sugar strands to stick to icing?

Sprinkles grip best when the icing is still slightly tacky, so add them soon after spreading buttercream or glaze, or brush a thin layer of warmed jam or syrup onto the surface first.

Can you bake sugar strands into cookies and traybakes?

You can mix a small amount into the dough for a speckled look, but they tend to show best when added on top before baking so they stay more visible and keep their texture.

Why do dark sprinkles sometimes bleed colour into frosting?

Colour can transfer when the topping is very wet or warm, so for sharper edges use a firmer frosting and apply the sprinkles just before serving, especially on very soft whipped toppings.
