LorAnn Oils 10 lb. Isomalt Crystals

Details

Create detailed sugar designs for your show-stopping desserts with these isomalt crystals! Isomalt is a sugar alcohol that is sugar-free and lower in calories than regular sugar, making it a great sugar substitute for sugar-free candies, chewing gum, and even chocolates and baked goods in small amounts. Unique among other sugar replacements, isomalt is very structurally similar to regular sugar with the added benefits of superior workability and a high resistance to humidity and crystallization. Additionally, isomalt can handle high temperatures and does not start to caramelize until it reaches 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Ideal for sugar work, use it to make intricate toppers and decorations for your cakes and cupcakes. You can use it to create anything from spun sugar designs to beautiful, life-like sculptures and blown sugar designs like flowers, animals, and gemstones.

This isomalt must be cooked to a proper temperature prior to use. Once melted and ready to work, it can be pushed, pulled, blown, and poured. It hardens to a clear, glass-like structure or liquid food colorings and flavors can be added while it's still melted. Best of all, once isomalt is cooked, it does not need to be cooked again! Simply store any uncooked isomalt in an airtight container and then melt down to the desired consistency when you're ready to work on it. This also allows you to melt down and re-work any pieces you are not satisfied with! With 10 lb. of product, you are sure to be in good supply for all your decorating needs.
