In reply to Gidget Hall. Hi Gidget! If the frosting/glaze is sticky then you can just sprinkle them right on and they should stick. If the frosting is set up you could probably still press them in, I'm not entirely sure because I've never had a Nothing Bundt Cake and don't know what the frosting is like :)

I’ve ordered a Nothing but Bundt cake for my son’s birthday. I want to add sprinkles to the top after I get it home. Is there a safe method to get the sprinkles to stick after all that frosting has set up?

Hi Yvonne! I used the “Hey Sugar” sprinkle mix by Sprinkle Pop: https://amzn.to/3ge8ZOS

Hello! Where are your sprinkles from used on this cake?

In reply to Jess. Yay, Jess! I think this tutorial will work with store bought frosting. My only thought is that store bought is a little more sticky than homemade buttercream, so if the frosting is too sticky you can always refrigerate it for about 10 min after frosting the cake to take away a little bit of the stickiness away (but still have it be sticky enough for the sprinkles to adhere). Hope that helps!

This tutorial is so helpful!

I have a major lack of time and want to cheat with store bought can frosting (Duncan Hines or pillsbury, etc). Will this work with those? If not ideal is there anything I can do to doctor those up to make it work? Thanks so much!

In reply to Holly. Hi Holly! You can use sprinkles on pretty much anything, but if you want them to stick in a certain way they'll need something to adhere them to the quick bread (like a frosting or glaze). If you're just sprinkling them over the top you should be fine though!

This is a beautiful cake! My question is about using sprinkles without the frosting. Do I have to have frosting? I want to put sprinkles on a quick bread.

In reply to Helen. Hi Helen! You could add a super thin layer of fresh buttercream around the bottom of the cake and stick the sprinkles to that. I've done that with success before. Hope that helps!

Hi Whitney, if you decide to add sprinkles once the final buttercream layer has been chilled, what’s the best way to get them to stick? Would it work to lightly dampen the buttercream in a band around the bottom to do this?
