Video Tutorial: Learn How To Cook Crystal-Clear Isomalt - Step by Step Video

[@jenfugit7801]

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!

[@BeataKhoo]

Dishwasher 😂 like all pots, the thermometer just leave in warm water it will dissolve- it’s just candy

[@emeraude15]

Hello! I hope you can help me a little... My isomalt actually turned amber color around 170-175 degres and I don't know why... I used stainless steel pan and the same thermometer as you, although another brand of isomalt since yours cannot be shipped where I am... Did I make a mistake in the method?

[@vincentchan1173]

Great tutorial! Thank you.

How do you keep away your sculptures from melting and getting sticky ?

[@nomadartusa1209]

Is isomald a special kind of sugar , Can you make sugar free isomald ?

[@tanyat3031]

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. 🙏🏽❤

[@MySweetPassionCakes]

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!

[@EmyPink6]

Does anyone know if the 285 degrees are Fahrenheit or Celsius?

[@julieblack777]

I recon she said 180-190 C = 350 Fahrenheit

[@MySweetPassionCakes]

Hi, it's in Fahrenheit, many thanks.

[@BeataKhoo]

Always 180-190 C

Does anyone know where to get the gloves from for isomalt ( in the UK) struggling to find any .

[@1983CHEZZA]

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

[@MySweetPassionCakes]

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!

[@sops7763]

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

[@MySweetPassionCakes]

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!

Hi,fantastic easy to follow instructions. Can you use a ie a wax heater with built in temperature gauge a to melt the Isomalt ?

[@MySweetPassionCakes]

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.

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

[@MySweetPassionCakes]

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.

Some people cook with distilled water. do you need to add water at any stage of the cooking?

[@MySweetPassionCakes]

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.

After you place the bag in the air tight container, where do you store the container, refrigerator or cabinet?

[@MySweetPassionCakes]

I normally keep the air-tight container in a cool, dry cabinet. Hope this helps!

[@joanneford9447]

If all works out, I am sure it will! Thank you.

[@joanneford9447]

Do you keep your stove on high during the entire cooking time?

[@MySweetPassionCakes]

@@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!

[@joanneford9447]

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.

[@danygom]

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? 🙈

[@MySweetPassionCakes]

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.

[@terryschmitz230]

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

[@juulkaa155]

That is so amazing! Where r u from ?

[@MySweetPassionCakes]

Julia Konopka I am based in Brighton and Hove, UK.

[@elnymiel]

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?

[@MySweetPassionCakes]

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!

[@malicdemjeelaine]

Can I ask question? Why my isomalt melt or bended when Its already top to cake..

[@MySweetPassionCakes]

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!

[@alicechikondi3560]

Wowwwww

[@umerbilal7156]

What isomalt is made of?can we do this with sugar?

[@MySweetPassionCakes]

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.

Fahrenheight or centigrade you never said

[@kimcruz3889]

why is my isomalt still sticky even when it set/hard? :(

[@MySweetPassionCakes]

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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJDWk4WtZsZmoKc
