CMC E466 55g (Tylose)

Tylose powder (CMC E466) 55g is an essential ingredient in cake decorating for working with sugar paste with precision. Also known as cellulose gum , it acts as a thickening and binding agent , allowing you to modify the texture of your sweet preparations.

Adding a small amount of CMC to your sugar paste results in a firmer, more elastic, and, most importantly, faster-drying gumpaste (flower paste) . This allows you to create fine, detailed decorations that last perfectly over time.

Main uses:
– creation of sugar flowers
– modeling of figurines
– specific decorative elements
– strengthening of the sugar paste

Contrary to some misconceptions, CMC does not “soften” the clay: it makes it more structured and more resistant , while retaining good malleability for detail work.

Instructions for use:
– incorporate a small amount of powder into the sugar paste
– knead until you obtain a smooth texture
– let it rest for a few minutes to allow the effect to develop

Features :
– weight: 55 g
– Additive: E466 (carboxymethylcellulose)
– Use in cake design and decorative pastry

A discreet but essential product to go from a basic paste to a professional paste capable of holding complex decorations.

Dosage: 1 to 10g / kg of mass - 0.1 to 0.5%
