I've worked with it to make sugar beer bottles when the air is really humid. Works great and you can sub it for sugar in a recipe. Dries hard and can be colored like sugar. |

I would think to color it you would add color to it just like hard candy-I think you use oil colors that you can purchase online by Americolor. |

I have wrinkled foil, then smoothed the foil and greased the foil with peanut oil, then layed a church window stencil on the foil. (I made the stencil from a sheet of silicone) Then poured hot colored isomalt into the stencil. It makes a very realistic-looking church window. Directions are in "Cooked Sugar Art" book. |

Thank you Tiggy 2 I just wanted to know if you have to use the same proportions that you use when working with sugar" 1/2 cup of sugar 1/2 cup of corn syrup. |

Hi leannewinslow,
I did the beer bottles with sugar candy. I made the mold with silicon and then made them with sugar candy. They came up amazing. I used 1/2 cup of regular sugar and 1/2 cup of light corn syrup (equal amount of the ingredients). I cooked in the microwave for about 8 minutes 2 to 3 minutes at the time. With the same recipe you can make the ice cubes, the only problem is that using regular sugar they come up yellow. I hope it helps!
