the tiny confetti that turns sad cake into a birthday and weak rain into mercy
means To scatter small drops or particles of something lightly over a surface or through the air.
from From Middle English 'sprenkelen,' related to a family of Germanic words for scattering and speckling — a cousin of Dutch 'sprenkelen' and German 'sprenkeln.' The same scatter-instinct may link it, distantly, to 'spark' and 'spread,' all carrying that sense of small bright bits flung outward.
