Tylose Powder

Tylose powder(CMC) is a hardening agent similar to clear gel and is used when modelling sugar figurines, flowers and decorations from fondant. Unlike modelling paste, fondant needs a hardening agent like Tylose in order to set hard. 

Tylose powder can also be used as a flower glue when mixed with water and stirred over hot water until smooth. Simply mix 1 tsp with 1/4 cup of water.
