Why is Isomalt better than sugar for decorating? This pre-cooked Isomalt melts in the microwave in just a few seconds. No cooking is required. Sugar burns easily, but Isomalt won’t change colour when heated. Sugar absorbs more water than Isomalt, so it’s more hygroscopic and more difficult to use. Unlike sugar, CakePlay’s Isomalt resists crystallisation, even after remelting. Just let it cool and you can easily use it again for a different application. Isomalt is less fragile and easier to work with. When properly cooked, tempered, handled and stored, Isomalt is more forgiving of high-humidity conditions.
