CMC Powder for Fondant, Gum Paste & Sugar Paste
Why Use CMC Powder?
CMC powder is an essential tool for cake decorators because it transforms ordinary fondant or sugar paste into a stronger modelling paste. By adding a small amount of CMC, decorators can achieve a firmer texture that allows intricate decorations to hold their structure while drying more quickly.
This makes it ideal for creating detailed sugarcraft elements such as flowers, leaves and decorative figures.
Key Features
Strengthens Sugar Paste - CMC powder helps convert sugar paste into a stronger modelling paste, perfect for detailed decorations.
Faster Drying Time - Speeds up the drying process, allowing decorations to set more quickly while maintaining their shape.
Ideal for Sugar Flowers - Widely used to create gum paste suitable for making delicate petals and realistic sugar flowers.
Professional Decorating Tool - Used by professional cake decorators to create stable, long-lasting decorations.
How to Use
To create modelling paste or gum paste:
- Add a small amount of CMC powder to sugar paste or fondant.
- Knead thoroughly until evenly distributed.
- Allow the paste to rest for several minutes so the CMC activates.
The paste will become firmer and more suitable for modelling and detailed decorations.
