Tylose Powder 500g

• Strengthens and hardens sugar paste: When added to fondant, it transforms it into a modeling paste similar to gum paste, preventing it from losing shape after being modeled or cut.
• Creates a quick-drying paste: It allows for faster drying times, which is useful for delicate decorations like flowers and intricate designs that need to hold their shape.
• Makes edible glue: A simple edible glue can be made by mixing tylose powder with water and allowing it to rest, which is perfect for attaching decorations to cakes.
• Improves pliability: It makes fondant and other sugar pastes more pliable and easier to work with.
• Does not alter color: It is a fine powder that blends into the paste without changing its color.
• Also used in other industries: In the food industry, CMC is used in ice cream and bakery products like bread and cake to improve texture and stability. 

• To make modeling paste: Knead a small amount (about 1 teaspoon per 250 grams of fondant is a guideline) into fondant until the desired consistency is reached.
• To make edible glue: Mix about 1/4 teaspoon of tylose powder with 2 tablespoons of water and let it rest overnight until it thickens to a glue-like consistency. 

Tylose powder is a food-grade additive, also known as CMC (Carboxymethyl Cellulose), used in cake decorating and sugarcraft to harden fondant and gum paste. It provides elasticity, improves handling, and allows for quicker drying times, making it ideal for creating detailed sugar figures and flowers. Tylose is also used to create an edible glue by mixing it with water.
