Hi - Global Sugar Art offers a huge selection of molds. Sunflower Sugar Art is another.

hi everone, just wanted to know where i could get moulds to make isomalt jewels. I do a lot of cakes with jewellery on it and it would be great to have a mould.

One thing to consider when using CakePlay isomalt is not to overheat it. Try microwaving in 45-second increments just until it's liquid and not too bubbly. Then let the surface bubbles subside before pouring into your mold. You might also consider the mold. It should be a high-quality one with a tight cell structure. Then, once you've made your piece, store it in an air-tight container with a desiccant packet. Do not refrigerate it, because the refrigerator is a humid environment and can add cloudiness. Hope that helps somewhat.

Bonnie:
Isomalt has to reach 320 degrees witina 20 minute time frame or the prolonged heat will affect the sugar like yellowing and cloudiness. Once the isomalt approaches 300 degrees it goes really fast to 320 and beyond....never ever leave sugar cooking on the stove by itself. Once the sugar cooks you have to pour it onto a marble slab and let it cool by using a putty knife to flip it onto itself until it is cool enough to pull.

Sidney Galpern and Michelle galpern did make me some blown sugar bubbles for my cake for my granddaughters birthday and delivered them to me while they were in town for the ices convention it was so nice of them I just couldn't believe it I was estatic and my cake was just a showcase for all my guest so if I ever have th chance I would love to take a class from them in blown sugar and they have Simi Cakes they also sell equipment to help with blown sugar and have a tutorial on you tube if it helps someone to watch and learn to do it. I am going to give it a shot myself.

I have tried now twice to make my own. Using CK Isomalt. First time I burned it. :( Second time, don't know what went wrong, but it turned out yellowish, but not burned. I started and finished it on Med. temp. Any ideas?

It is very difficult to try to explain how to make blown sugar...it is more of getting a feel for it...and it is more than just taking some melted sugar and blowing it into a bubble...I wish I could help more..this website has bubbles for sale http://www.simicakes.com/SHOP.html

I have an old Wilton book from the 1950s that has a section on pulled sugar and it's aimed at home cake decorators - looks complicated but not impossible to do at home...

If you can, take a class at Simi Cakes in Melbourne, Florida. They make it easy to learn all the sugar work.

I just took a 4 week class on sugar sculpting and there is some equipment you must have to do sugar work like that. it isnt cheap and you will have to invest several hundred dollars so it isnt a small hobby but something you do on a professional level. IN order to do sugar work you will need Isomalt, You cook it to 320 degrees and then you must table it on a marble slab until it is cool enough to pull like taffy. Then you place it in a light box specifically designed to keep the sugar hot enough to work it. Then using a tube and hand pump you blow the hot sugar into bubbles. It takes some practice not to blow up the bubbles at first..they pop very easily. Here are some links to the equipment you would need:

You can also make round balls and dust them sparkly to resemble bubbles.
