Instructions
-
Line 2 to 3 baking sheets with parchment paper and prepare an equal number of piping bags with a 4 mm circle tip.
-
In a stand mixer, combine confectioners' sugar, water, corn syrup, and extract; whisk until a thick, pipeable paste forms, adjusting consistency with small amounts of water or sugar as needed.
-
Divide the paste into separate bowls, adding food coloring to each, ensuring the color is slightly darker than desired as it will lighten upon setting.
-
Fill the prepared piping bags with the colored mixtures and pipe straight lines, 1/2 inch apart, onto the parchment-lined baking sheets.
-
Allow the piped lines to air dry at room temperature for at least 12 hours.
-
Once completely dry, use a knife or bench scraper to cut the sprinkle lines into desired lengths and store them in an airtight container.
