Tylose Powder (High Grade CMC) 55g

Tylose Powder — also known as CMC (Carboxyl Methyl Cellulose) — is an essential ingredient for cake decorators who want to create firm-drying fondant decorations, figurines and sugar flowers.

Kneaded into fondant, Tylose transforms it into a workable gum paste that dries hard, making it ideal for 3D decorations, figurines, and flowers that need to hold their shape and stand upright. Dissolved in warm water, it creates a smooth edible glue — a food-safe alternative to commercial adhesives.

Tylose Powder can also be used as a direct substitute for gum tragacanth.

Comes in a convenient 55g bottle from Over The Top.

**How to use Tylose Powder:**

**For gum paste:**
Knead 1–2 tsp into 453g of fondant (use 3 tsp in humid climates like Queensland). Only mix into the portion you plan to use immediately.

**For edible glue:**
Dissolve ½ tsp into 1 tbsp warm water and leave to gel. Stir before use.

**Tips:**

- Leave decorations overnight to fully harden before assembling on your cake

- Add more tylose for intricate work, figurines or decorations that need extra firmness

- In humid areas, increase the quantity slightly for better results
