CakePlay Pink Isomalt Nibs, 7 Oz

Isomalt by CakePlay in nib form, identical to the sticks in color, composition and net weight (7.0 oz / 198 g), but in a resealable pouch that offers better moisture protection. Made in a facility that processes peanuts.

Isomalt is a versatile crystalline substance with many different uses and applications. It’s derived from sucrose and preferred by pastry and cake professionals for its stability and usability. However, it’s difficult to cook isomalt crystals on the stove and achieve the proper cooking and tempering conditions. This stovetop cooking method is also tedious and time consuming and frequently yields inconsistent or poor results. That’s why CakePlay’s pre-cooked Isomalt Sticks are such a great innovation. This unique isomalt can be melted in the microwave, making it easy to add sparkle and dimension to cakes. It’s also ideal for creating free-standing sugar showpieces. CakePlay’s Isomalt Sticks provide consistent high-quality performance time after time. This isomalt product lets you add a professional touch in just seconds.

Isomalt is safe to eat and easy to use. Its clarity and color intensity make it ideal for crafting beautiful decorations that add amazing flair to your culinary creations. Use this adaptable substrate to create eye-catching 3-dimensional pieces for the center of a table or on a cake. Once melted, CakePlay’s pre-cooked isomalt sticks can be molded, cast, pulled or blown—anything you can imagine. This isomalt makes it easy to create toppers and decorations that enhance your customers’ special-occasion cakes and pastries. Get smooth, consistent results that let you create pieces with beauty, dimension and sparkle.

CakePlay’s convenient pre-cooked Isomalt Sticks let you start decorating quickly. Simply melt the number of isomalt sticks you need in the microwave, and you’re ready to go. No stress and no mess. Without the hassle of working with traditional isomalt, any decorating project is a piece of cake. These pre-cooked isomalt sticks are made with the highest-purity isomalt available. The color and clarity of this isomalt remains true during melting and application. And with CakePlay’s convenient packaging, there’s little to no waste. Simply use the number of isomalt sticks you need. If you melt a bit too much isomalt, just pour it onto a Silpat^® mat, then store in an airtight container to reuse later on another project. Unused isomalt sticks can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 years.

CakePlay isomalt sticks have many applications and uses. Try molded pieces (silicone and lollipop molds work great), plaques, flowers, jewels, beautiful toppers and showpieces. CakePlay’s pre-cooked Isomalt Sticks are ideal for any decorating project, from professionally decorated cakes for a special bride and groom to a few gems on a crown for a child’s birthday cake.
