Wilton has a massive collection of sprinkles; some of them are basic and can be used or everyday decorating and some of them are considered seasonal items. The Autumn Colorful Leaves Sprinkle Assortment is a nice find for cupcakes or cookies but to me it really needed to have an even pick of sugars and jimmies; this assortment only offers you one cell of leaves with jimmies. To me that is a little skimpy because you could end up paying less if you bought the containers individually because in most cases the colored sugar is a lot cheaper.

Wilton Six Mix Colorful Leaves Sprinkle Assortment
Product Number: 710-751
Suggested Price: $5.99

Wilton's Six Cell Color Leaves Sprinkle Assortment contains the following shapes and colors: A festive orange jimmie and leaf mix, plain chocolate brown sprinkles and sugar crystals in red, orange, yellow and light green. To me the light green looks more teal than a light green so it isn't used as much as the other colors. It would be been nicer to have another leaf mix with this; I would have rather had a strictly leaf mix with this and get rid of the odd green color.

Uses: You can use these sprinkles on just about anything frosted. If you are making cookies that you are going to use royal icing on you are going to want to add the leaves and jimmies first so that they have the best chance of sticking; then add the sugar. You can use these with other sprinkles and sugars so getting six different assortments with this cell shaker allows you to do a lot of different combinations.  They stick well to most fresh icing and frostings but the jimmies do tend to fall off while transporting them.

Price: This is considered a seasonal item but it is something that you can get at the Wilton Online Store almost all year round. It sells for $5.99 at the site but if you are in to bargain hunting you can find it for less after the fall season. Stores like Wal-Mart and Target have these in their seasonal section and you can get them for about half off when they start clearing things to make way for the Christmas stuff.

Pros And Cons: The pro side is that you are getting a lot of colors to work with and they are fall themed so they are something that you can use for autumn cookies and cupcakes as well as for Thanksgiving. It is a nice assortment for casual bakers but I would have went with an additional leaf mix for the container. You end up paying a dollar a cell and while that might sound like a deal if you were to buy the sprinkles individually you would get two to three times as much for another dollar. That makes is a less economical way to go when cake decorating or cupcake decorating but for people who only bake small amounts for the season it is worth it over buying the individual containers.
