EDIBLE GLUE FOR FONDANT
Here is short tip on how to make edible glue. In cake decoration, where you have your sugar flowers, edible gum paste, fondant toppings, plaques and other attachable deco. You just got to be needing something strong to make all those ornaments come to stick together and edible glue is just the handy substance to get the job done.
Most cake decorators are use to using ordinary water as glue, though it works perfectly as well but it is not as effective as edible glue in this case because it is too weak to bond some heavy decorative ornaments and flower on your cake.
Edible glue is quite easy to make at home at your convenience as well.
To Make Edible Glue
You need the following Ingredients:
• ¼ cup warm water
• ½ teaspoon CMC or Tylose
Preparations:
Mix warm water and CMC in a small container. Stir until your CMC is fully dissolved.
And there you have your edible glue ready to be used.
Note: When applying , do not put too much glue on your fondant it might start to dissolve if you use too much edible glue. You can always add more if needed, but you can't take it off once it has been applied.
Edible glue is also great for adding fondant plaques, drapes, swags, small bows and other decorations. After applying the glue, allow the glue to set for some minutes before bringing the two pieces together.
When brushing edible glue on a fondant-finished Cake
Let the glue set up until it's sticky before you dust the cake with edible glitter, sand sugar or gelatin sequins. If you don't wait for the glue to get tacky, it can end up dissolving all your pretty decorations. Oops!
You can store your left over edible glue in an airtight container and keep away from sunlight. Edible glue lasts up to three months if refrigerated. If it thickens too much, just add water (a little at a time) until you get the desired consistency you want.
