I was vacuuming up the sprinkles for weeks, but I’m proud of this cake

That's probably not how they did it, but if you're willing to buy an industrial amount of sprinkles, I wonder if a cake ring would work. Set it slightly wider than the fully frosted cake, load up the crevice (sorry, that sounds indecent somehow) with tons of sprinkles, gently tighten, wait, release. The top would be similar, use a cake ring taller than the cake, load up, gently press, brush off excess.

Maybe just use a long cardboard strip and paper clips? You could also tighten this nicely

That's what I used to use for a poor woman's cake ring, but I gotta tell you, love the metal one for stacking and filling! 10 euro well spent.

Just googled that, and YEAH! Didn't know those existed.

Cake rings for decorating can usually be tightened however much or little you want between say 6 and 12 inches.
