Sprinkles!: Recipes and Ideas for Rainbowlicious Desserts

A fantastic reference and instruction book on how to use, and in some cases even make(!), sprinkles and other colorful decorations. I have to admit that my ideas for using sprinkles were limited to Christmas cookies, and cupcakes. That was it. What Alpers does in this book is provide the reader with ideas on how to incorporate these decorations into drinks, fruit leathers, cookies, pops, etc., etc. Artistry is not my strong suit when it comes to cooking or baking anything, so I love a good book like this one full of eye-catching and creative ideas that leave people impressed and feeling special because of the effort you put into making something for them. I particularly recommend this book for those who are or wish to be cooking more with their children - this really is like finger painting and coloring, only with sprinkles.The photography is beautiful and makes me want to get in the kitchen and make everything that was photographed, another big plus in a cookbook. If you want a better idea of the contents, click on the "Look Inside" option at the top of the page. I'm glad that more Amazon books have this option, because it was key in my purchase of this book.

If you want to bring something sparkly to the Holiday Party this year, Sprinkles! is the place to start. This cookbook is ridiculously charming. Beautifully photographed, each page will make you stop, smile and think; "What a great recipe idea!" It's so creative yet simple that I want to try a lot of these recipes and I don't even like to cook! A few favorites: "I Love Sprinkles Butter", "Holiday Cake Pops", "Orange Dreamsicle Cookies" and a "Birthday Cake Martini".It has a lot of great recipes for foodie gift-giving too. My backpacking friends might get home made fruit leather with edible glitter stars in it. Homemade Pop Tarts for the kids - these are sooo cute! How about a jar of peachy sangria with edible gold glitter in it? Mmm, taking that to Happy Hour with the girls.I'm going to buy some sprinkles and this cookbook for Christmas gift packages this year.Sprinkles is such a "happy" cookbook to add to your collection!

This book has cute ideas and nice recipes to try. Nice to have if you want to add to your decorating skills.

Hi all, this is a great little book but has an editing error - several of the recipes call for tempering chocolate, and the recipe for that is listed as being on page 77. However, that's the wrong page number. I emailed the author and got an immediate reply - tempering recipe is on page 78, apparently a printer's error. 5 stars to the author, not to mention the wonderful photography.A lovely book with loads of fun ideas and some very yummy sounding recipes too. Amazon is definitely benefiting from my purchase of this book as I've now bought a TON of jimmies from them!

I purchased this very unique cookbook for my 12 year old granddaughter, who loves everything SPRINKLED, and she flipped over the book. The directions are clear, photos appealing, and every meal/snack imaginable has been transformed--even pancakes and french toast.BTW. Since I am of British decent, I've been introducing my granddaughters to tea time--ceremonial tea time (not the pour cold water into the cup, slap in a tea bag, and nuke it in the microwave oven type of tea time). Many of the baking ideas in this text I'm sure will add to the fun we are having together.

I LOVE this book! Great looking recipes and the pictures are BEAUTIFUL! I have a tiny kitchen, and any new cookbook is chosen with care, as I have very little shelf space. This one was too beautiful to shelve! I have it on display on the counter! The picture on the front says it all - my daughters love looking through it and have already picked out everything they want to make! This would be a wonderful gift for a baker - it is a delight!

I adore sprinkles which is why I bought this book. It fits the bill as a gimmick for any sprinkle lovers in your life - but most of the recipes are pretty standard baked goods with sprinkles on top. It does provide awesome descriptions of all the different types of sprinkles and their formal baking/candy titles and general uses, but beyond that, you could buy a more comprehensive and professional cake or baking book (Martha, Julia, etc) and simply apply festive sprinkles to your results.

I think the book is beautiful and several of the recipes are very easy to use. I made Sprinkles butter, Confetti popcorn cake and brownie bites but there are several others I want to try when I get the time. I think children could make some of these things and would like doing it plus people who like to entertain I think would find some showy, easy recipes. I think the photography is outstanding

Great book, full of fantastic recipes already made the cake on the cover and my kids loved it

Lots of fun and lots of colors. Fun to do with your kids. It is fun and elegant at the same time.
