CMC/Tylose Powder 3.5 oz. Tylose Powder is a hardening agent which 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.
- Its substitute that you can use, but that I do not recommend that you abuse, is cornstarch.
- You can add a pinch to the fondant you are going to use.
- It will absorb the moisture from the fondant so it will dry faster. But personally, it is better to use CMC.
- Tylose powder is effectively the same as CMC and works similarly.
- Tylose is typically a brand name and you’ll see CMC is the main ingredient in Tylose Powder.
- Gum Tragacanth is the natural version of all these gums.
