are there any vegan sprinkles, besides the organic kind that come in a box? are any of the wilton brand/dec-a-cake brand sprinkles vegan? i can't see spending so much on a box of sprinkles that i have to go out of my way to get.

I'm not sure about wilton's. Some brands are vegan but some have bees wax in them. The grocery store I shop at has Cake Mate brand that uses carnauba wax instead of bees wax.

The only two things you need to wach out for are beeswax and red 40, but most vegans eat red 40 and not many sprinkles contain beeswax, so your mostly good... but still just read the ingrediants

As far as I can tell red 40 is vegan.<br><br><br><br>

Full of chemicals and probably not healthy but still vegan as far as I can tell. Of course if your looking for sprinkles your probably not making health food.<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/grin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

how about confectioner's glaze? i can get a bulk sized sprinkles jar, but that's really the only ingredient i have that's in question, and though i emailed the company who makes them, they've yet to reply (it's been a month)
