A: CMC powder acts as a stabilizer and thickener in cake decorations. It improves fondant/gum paste elasticity and prevents sugar melts from dissolving in humid conditions. A small amount (0.5-2%) is typically mixed with icing sugar.
A: Both are edible thickeners, but CMC powder creates more flexible decorations ideal for intricate sugar flowers. Tylose produces faster-drying, firmer structures better for sculpted cake toppers. CMC works best in humid climates.
A: No - cornstarch lacks CMC's binding and humidity-resistant properties. For structural cake decorations, use proper CMC powder. Cornstarch works only for temporary anti-stick dusting during rolling.
A: Keep CMC powder in an airtight container away from moisture and heat. Store in cool, dry places below 25°C (77°F). Properly stored, it maintains effectiveness for 12-18 months.
A: Yes, food-grade CMC (E466) is certified safe for edible decorations. Always use products specifically labeled for culinary use. Excessive amounts may cause texture changes but standard recipes use safe quantities.
