Can the Scotts Broadcast Spreader be used to disperse chocolate sprinkles over cupcakes, after applying frosting to freshly-baked cupcakes?

The Easy Hand Held spreader is designed to apply lawn care products, rather than sprinkles or other baking decorations. You will get the best results by selecting kitchen tool designed for this purpose.

YES! It's great for decorating cupcakes and regular cakes, too! I even use mine for spreading ice melt pellets in the dead of winter. The non-stick polymer requires no clean-up. My children love the cupcakes decorated in this manner. They are turning a weird shade of blue, but they don't have any more weeds growing in their hair as in the past! Great product! (Would recommend this to a friend.)

Possibly.... I would hold the spreader perfectly horizontal to the floor, press the button once to drop the sprinkles down into broadcaster, and then quickly turn the spreader 90 degrees to drop the sprinkles down on the (hopefully) very large cupcake (it is a "spreader" after all). Repeat this process for each cupcake and hope for the best. Or, after you drop the sprinkles into the "spreader" swing your arm (the one holding the spreader) back and forth over the cupcakes to distribute sprinkles as needed. Using either method it is not necessary to use the crank because it doesn't work anyway... Possibly....

I would advise against this because it doesn't evenly disperse grass seed very effectively and you would need a large area of cupcakes to hit the target area at all.

have not used this myself, bought for a gift. however, i think fondant would not be suitable for covering these. perhaps candy melts in the colors you want would do what you were hoping to do.

We haven't been using papers. We sprayed it with cooking spray and kept the cupcakes in a bit longer. If you do that the cupcakes will hold up a little better, and my husband and kids really like the little bit of crisp that you get on the sides and bottom. They taste great.

I'm sorry , I haven't yet baked in the Silicone Muffin Pan. I have only used it for chocolate and for chocolate it works great. If you were to use a liner , go plain, just until you find out if anyone has to be on the safe side. Some cupcake liners designs bleed into cupcake pans. Try getting a hold of the company who makes it. They do have a web page , you might get your answer there as well.

Yes...I use half and half, sugar, salt, and a pinch of pancake syrup to make a vanilla base and I use this mixture plus brown sugar and cocoa powder for a chocolate base. Then add in whatever mix-ins I want either after taking the base out of the machine, or during the last few minutes while it is still in the machine.

No. I use PAM baking spray. Not just the regular But it's designed for cake baking.

I seeded a much smaller area than your's using a hand-held manual seeder. Its opening would close down allowing only a very small amount to fall through onto the scatter wheel. If your spreader will close that close I would believe that mixing with another material would not be necessary. If it will not I think that you could mix the clover seed with some fine sand or other grass seed before spreading it.

I was able to get 98 cupcakes around the holder and the base (table). I was very happy with the product and was very easy to decorate. I did spray it with Acrylic paint before decorating to re-inforce it.

I think it would be better to sprinkle on, if you mix with frosting I think some of the sparkle effect would be lost.

I have had mine for a while, but used it for the first time last weekend. It worked beautifully on round cakes. I let it cool completely, sliced off the crown and then sliced it into two thin layers for a multilayered cake. The wire slide through the cake like a hot knife through butter. No sawing motion necessary. Sliced four round cakes and had precisision matched layers. Extremely satisfied with performance.

Yes we tested this on cupcakes and muffins. Assume mini bundt cake work the same have not tested brownies. Hoping to try this weekend.

Yes it would...I had a bunch leftover from using in a chocolate fountain, so I put it in a Tupperware and melted it again the next week and used for strawberries and pretzels. I think it would work well for cake pops too.

Hello...my wife is the baker not me. She says it's thicker than the store bought icing but not so thick that it's unworkable. It takes pretty easily to cupcakes. I'd recommend this product and would use it again.

Yes. You would just use the round tip and insert it into the cupcake. The same way you would with a piping bag. However, i find it much easier and less messy to use this instead of a piping bag

Use granular Swerve for all your baking and the confectioners for frosting. Makes really great frosting.

Yes. It might overwhelm the cupcakes but it would make a great focal point if that is what you're going for.

I work in the bakery department of a local grocery store. I used the pan during the holiday season. I allowed the brownies to cool complely iced them then removed the divider. They were perfect for party trays
