Oh, forgive me, I thought you said "where do I get them?"

I don't know what they are called. Call a cake and candy making supply
store and ask.

They are simply called "sprinkles". Some bottles of the colored ones
label them "decorating decor", or "decorating crystals", but sprinkles
works for me.

Why do you want to know?

So far today, you've invoked "Asshole", "fellatio", and child

He's gotten kicked out of some ISPs for his past behavior, although I
think some one or a few have relented and let him back in.

Are you looking for pastillage? Most of the molded decorations are

Pastillage is a sugar-based dough according to this page.

Right. Decorations are molded from the dough, then dried. Perhaps you
should have read a little further along, instead of stopping after the
first sentence:


"Pastillage is a sugar-based dough used for decorating and creating
decorations for pastry,

showpiece work and decorative molded forms. The dough is much like clay
or play-dough where you can knead it and roll it out.

Pastillage is worked then allowed to dry, setting up to a hard,
sugar-based decoration."

My guess is that you could make your own by mixing plain old granulated
sugar with some egg white to make a powdery mix. Pack into a mold and
let dry. You'll get some goofy sugar decorations which are similar to
sugar cubes. You could also use a gum paste recipe. It's kind of hard to
figure out what you're looking for cause you're kinda vague.

It's royal icing. No molding involved, it's done freehand.

Sorry, I'll have to debate his/her reply, because I have a bag of little
bottles and the majority of them just say sprinkles on them, and the
rest say what I said in my earlier post. There are not from the same co.
either, but various brands. I've been baking for 63 years and have
always referred to them as sprinkles, as did my mother. Well, you get

Sprinkles are not molded products. What you are speaking of is,
indeed, wholly different, but yes, those little things you mention are
called sprinkles or shot. There are some regional names, too.

Molded sugar decorations are usually in distinct shapes, usually quite
a bit larger than shot, although there are some make small enough to
toss onto a cookie or cake, rathere than be used exclusively for
cake-type decoration. The last few years have bought an uptick in
cookie decoration and so more tiny things are available now.

He asked what the "decorations" were people put on top of cookies, and
I've never seen (nor used) any kind of molded hard candy decorations for
on top of cookies. I have used them on tops of cakes, but yikes! those
things could break a tooth...seriously! I'd never use them on
anything the size of a cookie. For those I decorate with the sprinkles,
so I thought that's what he was referring to, but apparently our minds
were on different "channels".

I have both seen and used them. I just call them decorations. They might
be royal icing. They might just be molded sugar. It's just sugar and
liquid, either water or juice, perhaps with the addition of some egg white.
If there is egg white it is cooked first. Then pressed into a mold such as
you would use for chocolates. Let set, then pop it out and use it. If
royal icing, it is piped out onto foil or plastic. Again, let set.

Judy, are you talking about those 1-dimensional seasonal "sprinkles,"
like hearts, 4-leaf clovers, etc? The original question was about 3-
dimensional figures.

Yes, that's all I've ever seen (or used) on certain cookies, other than
decorating them (like Jack O' Lanterns at Halloween) with frosting using
a pastry bag with a tip on the end.

Why would anyone use those larger rock-hard molded sugar decorations on
tops of cookies?

This was the OP's exact question....

And the cullinarilly correct answer is: "Dragée". When you don't know
just say so, or better yet don't respond at all... but don't pretend
to know with wild guesses and alibis... give it up already, IDIOT!

And........you would be WRONG, "Mr. think-you-know-everything," smart
mouth!
Dragees are the very tiny round and very hard silver decorations used on
wedding cakes, etc.

Obviously from reading your posts in this group, everybody knows more
than you ever thought you did about cooking/baking. Your "knowledge"
comes from the internet obviously, rather than personal experience.

I thought I already posted that dragees are round little beads, but
maybe it went into the ether. You're correct, Judy, at least for this
group's purposes.

"French for "to dredge," a dragée (pronounced "dra-zhay")
traditionally refers to a colorful covered candy with a hard outer
shell and softer center, often used for decoration in addition to
eating.

"These days, the word is used loosely for most small coated candies,
from Jordan almonds to candy- and chocolate-coated sunflower seeds.

"Dragées can also describe the tiny metallic sugar spheres used to top
holiday cakes and cookies. " The original poster did not ask about
coated candies.

I was ignorant about the dragée nomenclature but was surprised that
you-know-who didn't know about royal icing. Must have forgot to Google
it. :-)

Dragées is a term that encompass ALL configurations of small
decoratives used in cooking and baking... yoose idjits obviously don't
possess the reading comprehension to decipher the material at the web
sites I supplied. I purpsoely waited to see if anyone at rfc knew the
nomenclature, obviously none of yoose foodie frauds did until I
enlighted yoose pinheads... at least the honest ones were wise enough
to STFU, but not yoose two know nothing ****s... stay ignorant, I'm
done with this.
