How do you say sprinkles?

Question

sprinkles you would put on cookies

Answer 1

Hi, Ringostarr, welcome to the forum.

I just checked my Spanish language cake/cookie cookbook and see a photo of sprinkles on top of a cake with the ingredient listed as "chispas de colores para decorar". This makes sense, in that "chocolate chips" are "chispas de chocolate".

Colored sugar is "azúcar verde/rosada/azul...etc."

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

This question was asked a while back, and after some research I discovered that there are several different ways to say this. Depending on what country you are in you might find them described as:

Azúcar de color

gránulos decorativos (de colores)

granas de colores

Chispas de colores

confites

grageas also here

There were a few others listed in the original post, but I was not able to confirm these by any other sources.

Hi, Iza - aren't "grageas" trabslated as "capsules", like pills? Just wondering...so many different countries, such variety!! - mountaingirl123, Jun 1, 2010

Answer 3

Not what you are asking but .....

From our Conjugation tool under "more" above.

Rociar transitive verb 1. to sprinkle (arrojar gotas); to spray (con espray) 2. (arrojar cosas) rociar algo/alguien (de) -> to shower something/somebody (with)

PS - how would one say "to sprinkle sprinkles"

Good, arrojar chispas! And then the cookies are different in every country as well... - margaretbl, Jun 1, 2010
