Rainbow sprinkles can brighten up cupcakes and cakes in seconds.

You’ll need: An easy Royal Icing recipe, food coloring (we like Watkins’ vegetable juice and spice-based natural food dyes), a thin frosting nozzle of your choice, piping bags (we highly recommend these reusable silicone piping bags vs. using plastic disposables), tray-lining paper (or perhaps a reusable silicone mat will work?) and a mesh strainer for separating the dust from your sprinkles.
