Perhaps because we are waiting 8 hours for Alpacas, we are meant to go much slower. Hence there are no sprinkles to be found.

It is not neccessary to purchase the booth to play/finish this event.
However I reckon it is one of those rare times in which a limited event only gem purchase is useful.
Going by the Baron's 5th b'day event, the gold chocolate coins will be a rare drop from the ice cream mountain.
Having the booth means you can convert the common bronze coins into silver/gold and in turn gives you more opportunity to do the mystery trade (alicorn!).
This is clearly one of those events designed to reward those players who can spend a lot of gems. I know S8 have to have them from time to time. I recall finding the Baron's birthday event frustrating and disappointing. So I will play this one casually. That won't be hard, given the return rate and speed of the alpacas and sheep. I shall go into 'barely playing' and just enjoy my kingdom. There's always lots to do to build up resources aside from the times goals.
I did a bronze trade .... It worked, had various rewards, and then they vanished. Now it says I haven't done a trade at all. 😩
Sprinkles does spawn. Took me 3 or 4 goes though for one to spawn so getting enough to clear the goal will take a little while. Looks like only the ICM is the spawning point so far.
I had a look back at the Barons birthday thread and we don't need to make too many of the kitchen crafts - just a couple per upgrade if it's the same requirements.
Not sure to be honest spiritwind! I was half asleep in bed at the time (last night GMT). But maybe it was just the first step in a sequence that I didn't observe.
Not to worry if I'm just being dimwitted
Even if we need only 1 Royal Sundae per upgrade (which I doubt) it's still 7 of those in total (from level 3 to 10).
If you don't or can't gem ahead the Ice Cream Mountain and the spawns are not guaranteed.. it can take 2 days to have enough Candied Sprinkles for 1 Royal Sundae ...
This event turned from promising and exiting to frustrating very fast.
