Beautuful results and very good explanation ! I’m about to make a chocolate cake and I need to pump it a little bit. Since I have isomalt sugar at home, I will definitely create this beauty too… or at least I will try! Thank you, have a happy weekend!🌺🌸❤️
This cake is beautiful! I am going to attempt to make this for my sister's birthday. The question I have is the amount of karo to use. You indicate 2 tbsp but it appears you actually put 4 in the pot. Please clarify this for me. I did a test and unfortunately it broke as I could not get the glass to release. Also, mine did not run very well, I used my torch and that helped. Please advise
How do you prevent it from being sticky? Because it’s summer where i’m from and i figured that if i place it in the fridge, it becomes foggy, so I just let it sit in the counter, but when I do, it becomes sticky. I don’t have a torch right now, so any tips?
Sorry I just saw your question! I have not tried, but I would think that maybe you would have to hold it in one spot too long and it may melt it? If you have tried it and it works, let me know ok?
Thank you;) if it is left in a cool dry place, it should last for quite a while. I leave them a little on the thicker side to be safe;) Humidity is the enemy.
Thanks for the tutorial. im from an asian country but mine was broken in to small pieces after few hours... 😥 should try another one and keep inside refrigerator...
@@madushanipeliarachchi6483 Hmmm my guess would be that maybe you needed to let it rest for just a minute before drapping the mat? If you let it cool down just a bit, it may stay a little on the thicker side and be stronger. I am afraid that the humidity from the fridge could melt it. Unfortunately Isomalt doesn't like the fridge in my experience;(
Help Mary ! I was trying to figure out how to do the "torn buttercream " and gold highlighting similar to this cake. I see the "torn" look with wafer paper but looking to do all buttercream! Do you have a video I'm not finding? Thanks a million ❤️
You bet! It should last quite a while in a cool and dry environment. I am not completely sure exactly how long. I don't keep them around for more then maybe 3 days.:)
It may be just my tv, but your video loses sound right after the isomalt dries and you remove the mat. What are you using the torch for? Does it make the bowl more clear? This truly comes out stunning!!
Hi! I find that the corn syrup keeps it more clear as it dries;) i not sure why it would be sticky? Maybe let it dry longer? Are you in a very humid climate?
@@sophisticakesbymary Well, I live in the north of England, it might be humid, I'm not sure. Can the corn syrup be replaced with glucose? I have tried different ways to make it not be sticky but everytime it is. Never put it in the fridge so that is not the issue. Thank you for taking the time to asnwer me
@@aldinyz hmmmm. Maybe too much water? I have never used the glucose with it, but it may be worth a shot! They are fairly similar. I do use glucose in the sugar sheets instead of cornsyrup and it works in that.
Actually the isomalt needs to be hot or else it won't move. But be very careful as it can cause some severe burns if you touch it. I would suggest using heat resistant gloves. The only reason I didn't is because they were at work:(
Tap water contains impurities that makes the isomalt look cloudy or discoloured. Apparently, using deionised water is the trick? Here in the UK we don’t have corn syrup so use glucose instead 😊
Love your video. It helps me a lot. But if I may suggest, please lower the music, because it's too loud. I prefer to hear your voice. Thank you so much 😁🙏
Yeah RUclips won't allow the music to be any lower when you use their music for videos. Unfortunately that is the only way to be sure you don't get copyright strikes, so I have basically stopped using music unless I am not talking. I also can't change it once it has been published;(
ingredients:
•isomalt crystals (1 cup)
•torch
•color gels
•clear corn syrup or water (2tbsp)
•toothpicks
•tall glass cups
•heat resistant silicone mat
Incredible...just beautiful. How much diluted fluid to gold luster do you use?
I don't actually measure, I eyeball it. I would start with about 1 tsp dust to 1/2 tsp liquid. Then adjust if needed.
I made an isomalt sail following your video and it turned out amazingly!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent.

A wonderful touch of elegance to top a cake 🎂
Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏. Where did you buy the silicone mat ? Thank you
Passei muitos dias procurando essa obra de arte ❤
Beautiful. I love the effect you get. Thanks for sharing and keep on caking .
Hi. Your cakes are beautiful. I am trying to make this for an event. What do I do if u don't have the torch? Is there any alternative? Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your masterpiece, it’s absolutely beautiful!
Awww thank you so much:)
Estoy tan agradecida de haber encontrado tu canal. Muchas gracias por compartir. Saludos desde México ❤️
Hola México :) ¡Me alegra que me hayas encontrado también!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful 🤩 thanks for sharing!
Beautiful!!
Your tutorials are amazing.
Glad you like them!
Hi! Thank you for sharing.
Why do you add corn syrup to isomalt? Thank you
Amazing! I'm going to have to try something with Isomalt! Thanks for the tip about using corn syrup!
You are so welcome!
This cake is amazingly beautiful 💙🤍💛
Thanks for sharing, I love the blue color. Can you put the blue color in before you take it out of the pan?
You sure can!
Can you please tell me where to purchase that flexible silicone mat? Mine is too heavy to drape.

I know this is a late response;( I did not see your question until now. This was a while ago and I beleive I may have done a double batch?

This is absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing! Do you have a link to the gold dust that you use, please?
Thank you!! I am not sure if this is the one I used this time, but it is a good one;)
Hold on, I can't seem to get it to work🤪
Gold Highlighter Luxury Cake Dust, 5 grams, USA Made


Did that go thru? I am horrible with this!
@@sophisticakesbymary :-) don't see the link, but I google 'gold highlighter luxury dust' and was able to find it on Amazon! Thank you so much!
Love your videos. Question: will a heat gun work the same as a torch for clearing up the Isomalt?
Sorry I just saw your question! I have not tried, but I would think that maybe you would have to hold it in one spot too long and it may melt it? If you have tried it and it works, let me know ok?
@@sophisticakesbymary Thanks for responding. I did try it. Heat gun melts the drip. Have to be careful not to make holes. Helps a bit but not ideal. 😘
Beautiful
Thank you for sharing this video with us 🤗👍nice work
Thank you😉
Greetings, did you use one cup of isomalt and 4 table spoons of corn syrup or did you use 2 cups of isomalt?
Beautiful! Does the sail breakdown after a few hours?
Thank you;) if it is left in a cool dry place, it should last for quite a while. I leave them a little on the thicker side to be safe;) Humidity is the enemy.

Hi Mary, instead of corn syrup I can use glucose syrup instead?

This would probably be the closest I have, I am sorry!
So beautiful!! Thanks for sharing :-)
You are so welcome!
Hola mil gracias por compartir, una consulta yo no tengo el termómetro como podría saber si ya está listo el isomalt para hacerlo
Thank you for this education video... How long does the isomalt sail last, I mean days
You bet! It should last quite a while in a cool and dry environment. I am not completely sure exactly how long. I don't keep them around for more then maybe 3 days.:)
Beautiful sail. We don’t get corn syrup in England. What other substitute can I use?
Thank you;) I wonder if golden syrup would do the same thing? I think it is the same;) You can get that correct?;)
@@sophisticakesbymary can we use glucose?
Honest answer,,,,I don't know! I have never tried it and I could not find any info for you on google;( I don't see why it wouldn't.
I am sorry I have not been much help for you!
@@sophisticakesbymary It's okay, dear. Thank you for having so much attention for your subscribers. Am looking forward for your next videos. :)
how long do you need to wait for it to dry before you take it off the cups?
Oh really only about 30 minutes or so.
Great tutorial
Thank you;)
Do you have a video of making the sail using sugar? I don't have any Isomalt handy.
I do have a tutorial on making homemade isomalt. Let me find the link;) ruclips.net/video/YjaFE9-Cg08/видео.htmlsi=xVTTaSqoyvThq9kX
this is amazing! saw the marbling effect video too. Really stunning work!
Thank you Sally;) I really appreciate you saying that;)
love your work! Where can I find the pink silicon mat?
Thank you!! I hope can't remember where I got it. I have had it for a while;) I would guess Amazon.
It may be just my tv, but your video loses sound right after the isomalt dries and you remove the mat. What are you using the torch for? Does it make the bowl more clear? This truly comes out stunning!!
How do you stick the sail to a fondant cake?
Hi. Why do you use the corn syrup? Will it make it less sticky? Do you have any advice on how to make the bowl not being sticky? Thank you

@@sophisticakesbymary I never melt it with water. Only isomalt. I will maybe try with water to see if it makes any difference. Thank you
@@aldinyz actually I wanted to make sure you weren't using any because it can nake it worse:(
Does the syrup need to be Cold before it placed on the silicone mat.
Actually the isomalt needs to be hot or else it won't move. But be very careful as it can cause some severe burns if you touch it. I would suggest using heat resistant gloves. The only reason I didn't is because they were at work:(
@@sophisticakesbymary thanks for the info. Beautiful work.
@@sophisticakesbymary how can we storage when we have Made certain amount.
Bello, solo que hay una parte del vídeo donde no pude escuchar. pero voy a intentar hacerlo 😍
Tap water contains impurities that makes the isomalt look cloudy or discoloured. Apparently, using deionised water is the trick? Here in the UK we don’t have corn syrup so use glucose instead 😊
Where I work the water is horrible 😫. I have tried purified water and it still turns yellow. At least at home it is just cloudy;)
Thanks for the glucose idea!
very nice thank you
Thank you too!
Does anybody know if I can keep the isomalt sail on top of the cake in the fridge? or it needed to be placed just before the event? Thank you
I have never put one in the fridge so I am not sure. They do tend to cloud over so I would just leave it at room temp and place at the event.
Love your video. It helps me a lot. But if I may suggest, please lower the music, because it's too loud. I prefer to hear your voice. Thank you so much 😁🙏
Yeah RUclips won't allow the music to be any lower when you use their music for videos. Unfortunately that is the only way to be sure you don't get copyright strikes, so I have basically stopped using music unless I am not talking. I also can't change it once it has been published;(
Can i put it inside the ref or room temp only?
Isomalt does not like the fridge unfortunately:( It can melt, so cool dry room is your best bet;)
Where can I find the isomelt
Did you mix vodka with your lustre dust?
Yes;)
Make for beautiful crowns too
That's a good idea!
What is the tool used for checking the temperature called?
That is an instant read infra-red thermometer.
Hi, where can I get the pink silicone mat
Hi! You know what, I can't remember for sure, but I do get a lot from Amazon. I have had it for a while. Sorry I can't remember!
مبدعة
Thanks. Madam
Can i use sugar?
I actually don't know for sure, but I would think so! I have never tried to work with sugar beyond using isomalt.
Pls is this thing eatable?
You can but I probably wouldn't. Isomalt is technically candy, but it can upset stomachs.
Culinary napalm is how its always been described to me. I have so many scars...
I bet!!!! That's funny:)
Gostaria da receita em português.
What happened to the sound? I didn’t hear anything you said after you cut one piece off. It started back in after you all done.
That's a great question! I honestly don't know:(
After watching these videos, I always think I can do that. Then reality hits me and nope, never could
I have to ait it does take a little practice;) I never thought I could either, but here we are! I encourage you to try;)
How to storage it?
I would leave it at room temperature in a cool dry room. I wouldn't try to keep one too long as they do tend to cloud over fairly quickly.
What happened to the audio
I couldn't change the volume once it was uploaded because I edited it on a different app:(
Lost sound, missed information…
