Isomalt Sail Tutorial | Sugar Sails

[@munirarahemtulla]

I made this with my daughter for her 9th birthday cake and it turned out fantastic (even though we cracked some of the edges accidentally when we were first handling it. All her friends were amazed and she was so proud!!

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Oh that makes me so happy!!!!

[@brandonwellington3547]

You are quite the skilled pastry chef or artist I should say. I hope to find other tutorials. This looks so fun!

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Thank you Brandon! This was easy and very forgiving.

[@rabergel24]

Hi Crumb Cake. It's absolutely true that these iso malt sails are gorgeous. However I want to also add that I love how CLEAR you are in your videos. It really makes it enjoyable when you don't assume that the audience knows about all the little details. Thank you!

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Thank you for your comments. I try to include as much detail as possible for that reason.

lovely tutorial. thank you for sharing. I just have a question if I may ask. once we have delivered the cake, the customer will store it in the refrigerator until its needed. wouldn't isomalt melt ? is there a solution

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Hi, yes it would melt. The customer has to know in advance that isomalt can not be refrigerated. I usually send it in a separate box and let them place it on top when they take the cake out of the fridge.

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@vivekbhargavv]

Hi lovely video. What’s the reason behind my isomalt sail becoming sticky after an hour or so ?

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Hi, humidity is the culprit. This is why I spray mine with cake gloss after set to stop the humidity from making it tacky.

[@douglyons4518]

What brand and size saucepan are you using in this video? I love small volume, but tall saucepans for things such as this.

[@chrismike8562]

Thank u for sharing I will use your tutorial to make this. If my sail breaks can it be used to heat again and melt it

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Yes you can reheat it and pour it again. The only issue will be if you've added colour, the new sail will be a solid color, not streaked.

[@hossiennaghash499]

Can I do it with regular sugar?

[@leniseramos5743]

Wonderful 👏👏👏

Can we decoratate the sail on d cake n store it in fridge?

[@BronwynO-zs8ox]

Stunning sails! Am just wondering once on the cake - how long will they last please - as in keep their same form? Many thanks 😊

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

I am so sorry that I did not see your message. The Saul’s will last indefinitely if they are kept away from moisture.

[@tunde2855]

Thanks for this video. If it starts to melt or become extremely sticky, what can be done pls?

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Your best bet is to spray it with cake gloss. It was always get sticky otherwise. 😊

[@tunde2855]

@@TheCrumbCakeKitchen Many thanks...will try that.

[@mari1366]

How long before it mealts? Does it stand high heat like weather wise like if I use it for topping a cake and it’s hot outside will it mealt really easy?🙏🏼

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Hi. I’ve never had one melt but I think very hot humid temps might be a struggle. Room temperature is best.

[@91091622]

Awesome🥰😍😍🥰

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Thanks 🤗

[@jenniechreene2281]

I’m doing a coca-cola themed cake soon and it will be “gravity-defying” as if the can of coke is pouring down and wanted to use the isomalt bowl method to be like a “splash” but I was wondering, after the bowl has been made, I will need to add the bowl to the top of the cake and then a wooden dowel will need to go through the middle so that the coke can spill down so I was wondering once the bowl is made could I use the torch to heat the center just a bit and then make a hole for the dowel to go through? Is that how you would do it? I hope I explained that well! 😅

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Hmmm this is tricky. That could work but the bowl can be so fragile that it’s a bit risky. You might want to consider making a hole in the bottom of the bowl while it’s still firming up. I think it might be easier. You could put a small piece of a straw in the center when your pouring to maintain the hole. Or something else that won’t melt. That way you could slip the dowel through easily.

[@jenniechreene2281]

Oh yes I see what you’re saying!! That sounds much easier! I will definitely try making the whole while it’s still setting up! Not sure why I didn’t think of that! Lol!!! Thank you so much for your response and thank you for sharing this clear tutorial! ❤

[@elitebigcomputerguy07]

What water did you use while melting isomalt?

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Hi. I used tap water. Thank you

[@charlseanlene]

Thanks for sharing

[@nadiassweetooth6890]

Does the sail not get sticky to touch ?

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Hi. It can get sticky if the humidity is higher. I spray mine with cake gloss to seal it as a precaution.

[@yusufkhadijat6016]

Please what is that thing she is holding like hand dryer

[@nikitanaik6287]

How to store isomalt sails if we make it one day prior of delivery to customers??

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Just store them in a dry, room temperature place. No refrigeration. If you choose to spray them with Cake Gloss, they will last for months. :)

[@nikitanaik6287]

Thank you 😊

[@mushfiquamosharref259]

I had made it by sugar. It was sticky. Isomelt will it be dry?

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Yes it’s much more stable with isomalt. Will last longer. Thank you

[@Future88993]

So amazing. How long its take melt madam? We can put it in room temprature or frige ?

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Hi. You cannot put the completed sails in the fridge as the moisture will soften it. Please store it at room temperature. 😊

[@mushfiquamosharref259]

How can i store it? Will it be melting after setting on a cake?. Can i preserve it in fridge?

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

It cannot go in the fridge. Since it’s a hard candy, it also won’t need to. It will last for months on a container with lid. The cake will not affect it but don’t put it on until you’re ready to display the cake out of the fridge.

[@ceml9855]

Once set, could the isomalt be remelted ?

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Yes it can. The only issue is that the colour will all blend together. You can remelt isomalt over and over.

[@zahaansajid8430]

Hi ma’am how can we store isomalt sail for two three days

[@rhushatkulkarni8750]

does parchment paper work? oiled ofc

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

It might catch fire, so I wouldn’t torch over it.

[@montsinaesteba610]

Thank you so much for this lovely tutorial. My isomalt sails are very sticky even after spraying with the gloss spray, do you check the temperature of the isomalt when melting it, i don't know what i am doing wrong. thank you

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

I'm so sorry I didn't see your question. It could be related to the environment you live in. The more humidity, the stickier the sail will be. The cake gloss should make a big difference though, but you have to use small sprays, not too much at once or it can compromise the sail.

[@arkangeming2926]

Hi, could u share information, i do isomalt until became glasses, but after 3 hour the isomalt start melt and stiky, need some advice

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

You must live in a humid environment. I suggest using a cake gloss spray to seal it and keep it out of the fridge in a cool dry place. Spraying it seems to preserve it.

[@brigittatar2091]

I tried to make isomalt for the first time, but it didn’t worked out for me. It was soft even after hours. Can you please tell me why it didn’t got hard

[@kimoralane2868]

me too! i cant figure out what i did wrong! HELP!!

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Hi. I apologize for missing your comment. I hope you’ve had success since then. The only thing I can think of is not cooking it long enough. High humidity climates can also make it more difficult. Have you been able to make one since?

[@marialuisamavrich3087]

What is substitute of silicon mat?

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

To be honest, I can't think of anything else I would use in its place.

[@rongreene1788]

Perhaps spreading the mixture with a hairdryer.

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Could be worth trying. My only concern would be getting little airborne particles in it. Thank you for watching.

[@irenemaluma1760]

hi is the isomalt supposed to feel sticky? and how long can I keep it?

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

It can feel sticky. It has to do with humidity. It doesn’t hurt it, however it might weaken it if you live in a very humid climate. It’s better to keep it in a closed container until you need it. Cake gloss is a game changer though. It seals it up perfectly.

[@LucyEdithKiiza]

Is the heat a must to apply

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

Hi, do you mean with the blow torch? If so, then no, not at all. I use it to make minor adjustments to my own personal taste. Thank you

Can we add water

[@famaserrano]

I didn’t catch what it was you added on the isomalt, the clear liquid... i keep trying to rewind to understand

[@TheCrumbCakeKitchen]

It was a small amount of water. No more than a tablespoon. It’s ok to eliminate the water altogether too.

what's the alternative to cake gloss?

Yes, entirely edible. Candy is often made from it.

How much isolamt do you have in there?

Hi! It's a very detailed video. Thank you. What if I don't have cake gloss? What's the substitute?

You can also use PME glaze spray in small light coats. It is not absolutely necessary to spray them, I never did for the first two years that I made them. I only started spraying them recently.

Thought isomalt was hygroscopic and gets sticky overnight.

It can if you live in a very humid climate. I spray mine with cake gloss to prevent. I’ve had isomalt display toppers for months without issue. Of course they are only for display at that point.
