[@kristindowner9897]

It reminds me of pulling taffy candy when I was a child!

[@SugarQueenEva]

It's fun right?:)

[@Maroun8]

Great 👌 job 👍

[@SugarQueenEva]

Thank you:)

[@janinedalomba8425]

Wonderful tutorial! Can you tell me where to purchase a food safe mold?

[@SugarQueenEva]

Thank you Janine. You mean a mold for melting the isomalt? You can buy it in stores for cake supply and baking or online. The one that I use is a round mold for baking, I just cut out one circle. Hope this helps:)

[@meekadaeze215]

Awesome

[@SugarQueenEva]

Thank you:)

[@valerienaquin1621]

Beautiful!! What coloring are you using?

[@SugarQueenEva]

Thank you. I used paste color, you can also use gel colors.

[@guillerminagonzalezchavarr8623]

Me encantó muy hermoso y original.! No supe cuales eran los ingredientes??? Me los podrías mandar en español Gracias felicidades.!!

[@SugarQueenEva]

En este video utilizo isomalta, un sustituto especial del azúcar. Para los colores usé colores en gel. El papel transparente es una hoja de celofán, una más gruesa. Espero que esto ayude

[@samiakanhoush2409]

What u did is amazing ..what kind of glase u put plz to protect the isomalt? ❤

[@SugarQueenEva]

thank you Samia. It's an edible glaze containing shellac. It's used for protection from moisture for chocolate and desserts. Here is my other video where I talk more about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpDZlKZoaJ2paNE

[@user-kx8dz8fy7z]

Can the item be placed on top of the cake and into the fridge overnight after it was sprayed with the glaze? Thank you.

[@SugarQueenEva]

Yes, if it is well glazed with the spray. But it is best to keep the sprayed decoration in a airtight box with some silica gel (to absorb the moisture) and put it on the cake the last minute. That is the safest way.

[@nazanbayrak7197]

is so nice 👏👏👏🌸🌸🌸where can get isomalt powder and what is it name . and also how many minute do i have to put in the microwave and what is the brand name you used plastic paper

[@SugarQueenEva]

Thank you, Nazan. Isomalt is a name for sugar substitute, you can find it on internet, mine is from Saracino. Where are you from? You put the isomalt in the microwave for 1 minute at a time. Mix it up (turn the mold or microwave safe glass jar left and right to distribute the heat, don't stir it) and put it back in to the microwave for another minute. When it's almost melted, heat it in shorter intervals. When it's all melted, it's done. For plastic cellophane paper I don't know the brand. I buy it in a store for florists..it's a thicker cellophane for wrapping flowers and presents. Hope this helps.

[@nazanbayrak7197]

thank you so much sorry for replying late🌸

[@user-of8zy6xx7p]

Yo quiero hacer vidrio de azucar y quebrarlo para decoraar unos bollitos de vidrio con sangre de dulce para halloween, nomas que quisiera saber si cuantos minutos en microondas son? y no se cuanto tiempo se deja para que se enfrie y si se puede guardar en el refrigerador ?

[@SugarQueenEva]

You melt isomalt in intervals. Every interval is around 30 seconds, depending on the quantity of the isomalt (you can start with 60 seconds, at the end maybe only 15 seconds).. Remember to move the bowl or silicon mold between the intervals to mix the isomalt. It will cool down very quickly, again depending on the thickness. Spray it with edible glaze spray (with shelac) to protect it from moisture. Store it in a airtight plastic box in room temperature. Hope this helps. Here is also another video with some answers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpDZlKZoaJ2paNE

[@Pcaru002]

How do you add flavor to your mix? How long will this last in storage once sealed with spray?

[@SugarQueenEva]

you can add flavours (extracts and candy oils) to the melted isomalt. Once sealed with edible glaze and well stored away from heat and air it will last for a very long time. It's like candy or lollypop. Hope this helps:)

[@Pcaru002]

@@SugarQueenEva thank you 🙏

[@tehzeebhazarika9615]

Can I use silicone mat instead of cellophane

[@SugarQueenEva]

Hi Tahzeeb. For making different uneven shapes, cellophane is more suitable then silicone because it bends and folds easily. Silicone is less able to hold shapes and it gives more even result. Depends on what you are trying to make. You can also use baking paper.

[@Lawakanuno]

So if isomalt put on The cake and Storage in The fridge can be melt?

[@SugarQueenEva]

Hi Adisti. Isomalt exposed to moisture (condensation when you take it out of the fridge, or moisture in the air) gets dull in color (mat) and gets sticky. Eventually can start to melt. It needs protection-a layer of edible glaze (shellack), that gives it shine and protects it from absorbing moisture.

[@denisepayse5706]

Is that food coloring

[@sangolddoces]

Olá esse produto que usa para proteger da umidade qual nome ?

[@SugarQueenEva]

I use edible glaze spray with Schellack. There are different brands.. this one for example: www.amazon.de/-/en/PME-Food-Gloss-Spray-100ml/dp/B00482H2FW/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3SZATC4OF0XN&currency=EUR&dchild=1&keywords=essbare+glasur+spray&qid=1634363222&sprefix=edible+glaze+%2Caps%2C207&sr=8-3#descriptionAndDetails

[@xuxxuerot]

My sculptures get sugary after a while. Do you know why?

[@SugarQueenEva]

First thing that comes to my mind is moisture. Have you protected your sculptures with edible glaze (shelack)? It is also important that you melt isomalt completely, only then it reaches the right temperature for stability.

Welcome darling:)

How do we make snow flakes out of isomalt ? please teach?

[@SugarQueenEva]

I think it's best if you have a mold in the shape of a snow flake. You can also make a DIY simple mold. I will make a video on how to make molds in the future. Thank you Geraldine:)

[@ruthlef]

Is that just regular cellophane? I would think it would melt from that heat!

[@SugarQueenEva]

it's a little thicker cellophane that florists use for wrapping.

[@nasagi7388]

I enjoy the human element you bring to teaching. 🙂

[@SugarQueenEva]

So sweet of you Nasagi. I appreciate you! Thank you!

[@nuritgranot6796]

What is the difference between sugar and isomalt ?

[@SugarQueenEva]

Hi Nurit. Isomalt is a sugar substitute. It has little to no impact on blood sugar levels, and does not stimulate the release of insulin. it is used in cake decoration because it resists crystallization much better than the sugar. it also has higher melting point so the decoration made with isomalt is more stable. Hope this helps.

[@Future88993]

Can I Put it on my drinks. It's will be melt madam ?

[@SugarQueenEva]

Hi. Yes, it will melt. Isomalt is sugar and it melts in water.

How to protect isomalt from moisture ma'am.i couldn't understand clearly

[@SugarQueenEva]

You protect it with glaze spray. Please watch my other video on isomalt questions,where I talk about that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpDZlKZoaJ2paNE

[@alehandra8241]

Bravo eva. Te spremljam kolikor lahko. Darinka

[@SugarQueenEva]

Hvala za podporo, Darinka! 🥰

[@hasher22]

Instead of isomalt, can i just use sugar instead?

[@SugarQueenEva]

Yes, you can use sugar, but it's a little more complicated. You have to heat it to the right temperature, so it's durable enough, by that time it gets caramelized, so the color is changed.. With isomalt you have a clear color. It's very easy to melt, you don't even need to check the temperature, when it's all melted, it's ready to use. Isomalt can also stand higher temperatures, so it's more durable, less breakable, harder..etc. Hope this helps.

[@hasher22]

@@SugarQueenEva Thank you! I tested sugar yesterday and it was a mess, it's not worth my time and effort with sugar. Though, with the bowl effect, I used white chocolate and oil colouring which did the trick if customers want chocolate. But I'll def. use isomalt next time if I want a clear, easy to use ingredient! :)

[@SugarQueenEva]

@@hasher22 Yes, isomalt is easier to use:) Good thinking with chocolate bowl.

[@user-sb8tp3dj3i]

How can i prevent it to melt on my cake when I put the cake in the fridge?

[@SugarQueenEva]

Hi dear. I suggest you put the isomalt decoration on the cake at the last moment. And always spray isomalt decorations with edible glaze that contains shellac. That will give it a shine and protect it from moisture.

[@nonafonshmegel5983]

What do you need spraying? You said so quickly that I didn't hear.

[@SugarQueenEva]

Hi Nona. You need to protect your isomalt decoration from moisture with edible spray glaze that contains shellack. That will prevent the isomalt to get dull (matte) or even melt. The glaze keeps your decoration nice and shiny.

[@robinshane4661]

Why don’t you stir it?

[@SugarQueenEva]

It's never good to stir melted sugar, so it doesn't crystallize.

[@minisunny6369]

Is this edible

[@SugarQueenEva]

Yes, edible.. like lollypop.. you can also add some flavor..

[@bankeworanola7503]

Is the isomalt edible? Can isomalt be melted inside oven?

[@SugarQueenEva]

Yes isomalt is edible. It is used for the production of "sugar-free" candy:) No need to melt it inside the oven, it would probable take too long to melt, you can melt it in a pot on a stove.

[@DavidHise2010]

When you pull the reason why it changes color is because you're adding air

[@SugarQueenEva]

Yes, that makes sense. Thank you, I can see you are passionate about this topic. Great!
