Confused about Gum Tragacanth & CMC? Gum Tragacanth & CMC are used for making modelling paste and edible glue, amongst other things. So what’s the difference? Gum Tragacanth is a natural product; the real thing! CMC (Carboxymethyl Cellulose) is a cheaper, synthetic substitute for Gum Tragacanth. You may have also seen the names Sugarcel, Tylo & Tylose Powder – these are simply brand names for CMC. What Are They Used For? Basically, they all do the same job. However, CMC is often quicker acting than Gum Tragacanth – so the modelling paste can be used straight away. If you decide to add Gum Tragacanth to your fondant you may have to wait 12 hours before it’s ready to use. Whether you choose to add CMC or Gum Tragacanth both will thicken your fondant further over the following 24 hours making it even easier to model with. Like It! Share It! CakeBaker x
