Sprinkles
Sprinkles weigh 168g per cup. Jimmies (rod-shaped) and nonpareils (tiny balls) are the most common types. Nonpareils are slightly denser. Add sprinkles to batter just before baking or they bleed color. For cookies and cake pops, press sprinkles onto the surface rather than mixing in. Sprinkles do not expire in any meaningful way but may lose their shine after a year. Store in a sealed container at room temperature away from humidity.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
