I have to make homemade color coordinated sprinkles for 100 cupcakes. What do you think would be the best way to mass produce fondant sprinkles?
I was thinking of using my clay gun and extruding a thin line and then cutting it into sprinkle size. Any other possible ways of going about it?
Thanks!
I never even thought about hand making sprinkles. Your idea sounds like a good one though. Does your clay extruder have a disc that has alot of holes in it? You can squeeze out a bunch of lines of fondant at one time and then cut them into small sprinkle size pieces. Good luck!!!
Hopefully this link will work:

If not check out i am baker dot com and search for sprinkles.
I've made them before with a scrapbook punch. A very small plunger cutter works too...a little better than the scrapbook punch. You can also use a herb mincer to make tiny squares, or just a wheel cutter and make lots of lines.
Use a clay roller to roll your fondant out, then use your round icing tip to cut small circles out. This goes very quickly. This is the same method I use to make my pearls for my cakes. It helps make uniform size pearls.
