What is Isomalt?
Isomalt is derived form the name Isomaltitol, which is a type of sugar substitute made from beet sugar. Isomalt is used by many chefs, sugar artists and confectioners over conventional sugar because when it comes to making showpieces, cake decorations, dessert garnishes and candy; it is an excellent choice. Compared to sugar, Isomalt is more resistant to humidity and crystallization. Therefore, decorative elements made with Isomalt lasts longer and has excellent structural integrity, compared to normal sugar. In food competitions and culinary art salons, it is very popular with professionals when it comes to creating beautiful showpieces and decorative cake ornaments. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Thank you so much for sharing. I am so glad I found you on fb.
I was so intimidated in the past, made my first batch of isomalt today as practice for an upcoming wedding cake. My brand said to add water, but I used your method instead and it worked perfectly! I am so excited for future projects, it was so much easier than I thought it would be and I look forward to watching more of your videos! Thank you from the US!
Very good, beautifully and simply explained. Thank you x

That is so pretty
I thought you was going to show how to make that frog and the little mermaid sculptures that's what I would really like to learn to make :) I really hope you do a full video on that. If you do plz plz let me know.
Wow your amazing!
Thank you 🙏
@@BeataKhooYou would be if you got your temperatures correct, rather than mixing centigrade and Fahrenheit all over the place
I loved the way you made your isomalt crystals. Thank you for your tutorial. Please share how to color it.Once again thank you.

Thank you soo much for this thorough video tutorial..
One of the best I've found. Quick question..at what temperature can I safely pour the isomalt into the silicone molds, baking sheet etc? I'm looking to create ice cubes, as well as crushed ice. EXCELLENT video and thanks again. 🙏🏽❤
Tanya T Hi, Tanya...thanks for your wonderful comments. I hope to create more videos. With regards to your question, the key is the silicone moulds and silicone sheet. Please make sure they are designed to take high temperature. Most silicone moulds will take over 200 deg C but the there are some cheaper ones in the market that are not built for high temperature, so please do your research carefully. Have fun!

Wowwwww
I am waiting for more videos
Excellent video. How do you clean your pan, thermometer and spatula after using them in isomalt.
Dishwasher 😂 like all pots, the thermometer just leave in warm water it will dissolve- it’s just candy
That is so amazing! Where r u from ?
Julia Konopka I am based in Brighton and Hove, UK.
Hi I’ve just used isamolt for the first time, it’s set but it feels sticky to touch is this normal? I wasn’t sure if it was cause of the lovely weather here in the uk 😁😁Thank you lovely xx
Hi, that's quite normal. Isomalt once cooked and exposed to the atmosphere will naturally absorb moisture from the air, thus feeling sticky. Thank you, glad you had fun!

Does anyone know where to get the gloves from for isomalt ( in the UK) struggling to find any .
You can write to me & I can supply you if you like. Many thanks for watching.
I make lollipops with isomalt and they become cloudy after a couple of days after I add flavoring? Is this suppose to happen
Thank you for this video. Can I pour isomalt in a cookie cutter to create a shape like hearts or stars?
Yes, you can. Before you do that, please check if they are heat-resistant first. Thank you for your question!

Now I know why my isomalt yellowed
Where did you get your large silicone mat?
Dorothy Romines Hi, Dorothy. You can get them in any good shop that sells cake decorating tools. A good size will be around 60x40 cm.
Hi,fantastic easy to follow instructions. Can you use a ie a wax heater with built in temperature gauge a to melt the Isomalt ?
Hi, I've never tried using a wax heater and from my experience, the best results are obtained using an induction hob. You can certainly give it a try - it's all about experimenting and finding out which method works for you best! Thank you for your question.

Have you ever made lollipops with isomalt? I’m wondering how many lollipops would 1kg of isomalt make. Just regular sized lollipops using the CK round sucker moulds
Yes, it is possible to make lollipops from isomalt - in fact, they are lovely to taste/eat. 1 kg will give you a good amount of lollipops - just imagine, that's roughly 1 litre of cooked isomalt. Check how much isomalt your moulds take and you will have a good idea. Have fun making them & thanks for watching!

Can I poor melted isomalt into sphere silicone mold 🇨🇦
Some people cook with distilled water. do you need to add water at any stage of the cooking?
Mark Woollard I don’t add any water, I just cooked it on its own, as I shown in my video. Isomalt does not require any water to heat and melt. Thank you for visiting my channel.

Can I use Isomalt for Candy Apples?
Edgar Davila I’m sure you can. I’ve not done it myself, so let me know how you get on 😊🙏🏻
Hello! I've seen other tutorials where they add water to the isomalt during cooking. Is this unnecessary or does it depend on what type of isomalt you use? 🙈
Hi, everyone has their own technique - it's up to you to test and find what works best for you. It doesn't mean my technique is the best. I use isomalt granules from Saracino. Hope this helps and thank you for watching.
Why my isomalt melting after an hour.. please any tips? Help me please
After you place the bag in the air tight container, where do you store the container, refrigerator or cabinet?
I normally keep the air-tight container in a cool, dry cabinet. Hope this helps!
If all works out, I am sure it will! Thank you.
Do you keep your stove on high during the entire cooking time?
@@joanneford9447 It depends on your hob but I use 3/4 high on mine. The important thing is ensure your isomalt is consistently cooked till 185-190 deg C (i.e. 365 - 374 deg F). Hope this helps!
Came out beautiful, almost as good as yours... I'm going to try and make snow globes with the results, hopefully. Thank you again for all your advice.
Helpful video.
Have some questions though :
1. how do you storage it? On freezer?
2. why you don't put color when melting isomalt?
3. Will cooling down hot pan into ice cold water not making isomalt harden?
Hi, best thing is to keep them away from humid conditions. No need to keep in a freezer. Please watch my video carefully and you will learn a lot. Many thanks for your questions!

In your video I noticed you do not add any distilled water to your isomalt when melting it. I am going to try your way and see
I didn't understand what was it you added to the plastic bags with hearts before storing them, i couldn't make out what you were saying. Thank you!
Hi, it's silica gel. You can buy them in sachets. Thank you for watching.
Mine came out slightly tinted a slight yellow. Are their tricks to keeping it clear white?
Hi Beth, the temperature is important when cooking, so it is important to follow the steps in my video tutorial correctly with regards to cooking and measuring the temperature. Do make sure your thermometer is giving you the correct readings. Also, the hob you use must give you good & sufficient heat. What happens is that when Isomalt gets heated up to a high temperature, its colour changes, which is normal. Also, try cooking it faster. The longer it takes to cook to temperature, the more sucrose will break down, thus causing the yellowing. Hope this helps, good luck!

Hi madam what is the difference between powder isomalt and normal isomalt?
You can learn more- www.udemy.com/course/how-to-design-create-model-an-isomalt-fish-sculpture/?referralCode=6324DEDEE785439764A4
Can I ask question? Why my isomalt melt or bended when Its already top to cake..
Hi, please check if it is Isomalt or actually sugar or a mixture. Also, how long has your Isomalt stood on the cake. Over a long period of time and especially when exposed to high humidity, Isomalt will become dull and cloudy, although it is worth nothing that true Isomalt absorbs virtually no moisture at a temperature of 25ºC and a relative humidity up to 85%. Isomalts hygroscopicity is lower than that of all other sugar alcohols and even sugar itself. As a result, Isomalt makes products highly stable when stored. Isomalt have high heat resistance though, Isomalt melts only between 145 and 150ºC. Hope this helps! Good luck and keep learning!

Does anyone know if the 285 degrees are Fahrenheit or Celsius?
I recon she said 180-190 C = 350 Fahrenheit
Hi, it's in Fahrenheit, many thanks.
Always 180-190 C
Please can you tell me what is the isomalt you use on this video. Sorry for my english
I used an Italian brand called Saracino. Thank you for your question & good luck!
My Sweet Passion Cakes - Cakes in Brighton and Hove thanks
Hi maam,these type of decoration get sticky in fridge and humid atmosphere,so how can I use on cake whether cake should be keep in fridge ,plz help I love these type decoration and want to use on cakes
Umer Bilal Hi Umer, if you watch my other videos, I taught you how to store in air-tight bags with silica gel. Only take the Isomalt out as soon as you are ready to decorate your cake. Don’t store it in the fridge, expose it to the outside atmosphere as little as possible. That way you can preserve it for longer. Hope this helps. Thanks for your questions.

What isomalt is made of?can we do this with sugar?
Isomalt is a natural sugar alternative and made from pure beet sugar. Isomalt is best for high-quality decorative work, as they can be heated heated & melted without water. Isomalt’s lower melting temperature means it can turn to crystal-clear and glass-like. While sugar can also be turned into a glass-like texture and form, the high temperatures will cause it to turn brown and this is not very appealing. I hope this helps.

Hello why my isomalt is sticky and partly melting after it dries ? Thank you
There are many reasons but I can’t pinpoint exactly without knowing the real circumstances. Examples could be the Isomalt wasn’t cooked properly or there is high humidity, etc. Please watch my videos explaining humidity and how to control it. Thanks for watching.

why is my isomalt still sticky even when it set/hard? :(
Hi, Isomalt attracts and absorbs moisture, particularly in humid conditions. That’s why it eventually turns sticky. Think of a unwrapped piece of candy left alone on a table.
Have a look here: th-cam.com/video/v_sbRw1a3jE/w-d-xo.html
@@MySweetPassionCakes is there a way I could avoid this? or maybe a workaround I could do? it really upsets me, that you for your answer btw! more power to your channel!

Wow!! This is sugar?? 😳
Its isomalt
Fahrenheight or centigrade you never said
She kept changing between the two, and often not saying which was which just to keep things nice and clear🙄... I always prefer watching women for instructions on TH-cam
