CMC/Tylose Powder 3.5 oz. Jar Tylose Powder is a hardening agent that, when added to fondant, creates a quick and simple version of gumpaste/modeling paste.
- If you’re making figures or cupcake toppers, knead lots of cornstarch into your fondant 🙂 It will also help dry and harden your fondant.
- Cornstarch is a substitute, but we do not recommend overusing it.
- You can add a pinch to the fondant you are going to use.
- It will absorb the moisture from the fondant, allowing it to dry faster. However, I think it is better to use CMC.
- Tylose powder is effectively the same as CMC and works similarly.
- Tylose is typically a brand name, and CMC is the main ingredient in Tylose Powder.
- Gum Tragacanth is the natural version of all these gums.
