Isomalt is a sugar substitute made from beet sugar. Used by chefs, sugar artists and confectioners to make showpieces, cake decorations, dessert garnishes and candy. Isomalt is much more resistant to humidity and crystallization compared to regular kitchen sugar. Decorative elements made with Isomalt have a longer shelf life and structural integrity. Because of its superior workability, Isomalt is used almost exclusively in food competitions and culinary art schools where professionals create dramatic showpieces and decorative cake ornaments.
