Stir to soften/melt the icing and when it’s kinda liquid use it as glue.

If you need an alternative to tylo to make edible glue. You can mix a little fondant with a little boiled water. This will give you a thin sticky glue that works just as good.

They should both help as a thicken agent in the food industry. Try with a little fondant and see how it goes. Feedback much appreciated. Thank you.

I have had no luck whatsoever. I bought Guar gum and Xanthan gum. Can I use these as a substitute for Tylose or CMC? I really hope so.

I just take the amount of fondant. And sprinkle a little bit on my work board. You can after 5 minutes of kneading feel the different. If it’s a very large piece of fondant I would still add it in small amounts over time as it will thicken and harden after some time.

Too much tylo will cause cracks. Use tylo glue or piping gel to secure to the cake. Just remember to let the part where you’ve added the glue to get a little sticky before you place the drapes on top. Good luck :-)

I’m worried that fondant on it’s own will crack?

You can just buy CMC FOOD GRADE at Chemical stores. If you don’t know one I can refer you to Alysons’ Chemical Enterprises, located at 1425 G. Araneta, SFDM, Q.C. Its near SM Savemore corner Del Monte and Araneta. You can by the CMC by 250 g.

I would like to check with u is it possible for me to replace the Tylo powder (CMC) with tragacanth gum when i make the edible glue? Means, 1 tsp. of tragacanth gum + approx. 30 tsp. of boiled cooled water = edible glue.
What is the different between tylo powder and tragacanth gum? thanks….

But if you use it daily you can just use tap water, but you will then have to change it oftenly.

Sue: The only way would be to order it from overseas. I did get a reply from one, who just used dental powder as it should contain some gum additive. But I have NOT tried it myself.

You should use thepaste immediately to make flowers/figurines because the powder will over a little time harden and thicken the paste. So always add it a little at a time. If you add to much it is hard to work with.

I managed to get the stuff Finally! so happy =)
I would like to ask, is there a difference between Tylo powder and Tylose powder? After kneading in the tylose powder, can i use the paste immediately to form flower etc or do i need to wait for it to dry?
Thanks.

I also like the way: 500gm fondant, 1-2 tsp tylo, 1 tsp eggwhite (pasturized) and 1 tsp of shortening. This makes a great paste for flower making and so but it does takes a little bit longer for the flowers to dry crunchy dry though. You can always try adding 1/2 tsp extra to your 250gm of fondant. Im sure that you can feel the difference when you work with the paste.

Whenever I make flowers I always let them dry for days before use. So if you are in short time use a little more tylo this helps. Good luck :-)

I just started making fondant flowers and used sugar paste mixed with tylose. Just wondering if the proportion you gave of 1-tsp tylose to every 250gm fondant, will that make my flowers dry into crunchy hard flowers? I currently use 1/2 tsp to every 250gm (as recommended by another website) and my flowers don’t dry hard, rather they dry but are still slightly chewy still when I bite into them.
