Frequently Asked Questions

How much isomalt do I need for a standard gem decoration?

A 250g pack will produce approximately 15 to 20 small to medium edible gems depending on mould size. For larger showpieces or full sugar glass panels, consider the 1kg bulk isomalt option. Always melt in small batches to control temperature and colour.

Can I add food colouring to melted isomalt?

Yes. Use gel food colouring or dust colours once the isomalt is fully melted. Add colour gradually and stir gently to avoid introducing air bubbles. Oil-based colours like Colour Mill also work well. For clear decorations, skip colouring entirely. Browse our edible printing and wafer paper collection for complementary products.
