Isomalt, sugar and fructose for sugar art
Isomalt and specialty sugars for making bubbles, poured designs, stained glass and transparent, shiny sugar decorations.
Working with isomalt
L'isomalt melts into a clear syrup that, once cooled, produces transparent, solid decorations: bubbles, shards resembling broken glass, poured designs, stained glass and shiny supports. It yellows less than regular sugar and can be reheated. Color it with oil-soluble or powdered food coloring.
Safety and storage
L'isomalt reaches high temperatures: handle with care (wear gloves, use caution, never bring water near hot syrup). Sensitive to humidity, it becomes sticky and loses its shine: work in a dry room and store finished decorations away from the air with a desiccant.
