If storage is must, you can try and store the toppers single file in an airtight container with silica sachets. Isomalt or sugar work pieces are susceptible to moisture and are best used within a few hours. isomalt will set almost instantly giving you a securely attached topper. To attach isomalt to fondant covered cakes, simply dip the base of your finished drizzle into melted isomalt and attach to your cake. Some food colouring shades alter on reheating, for that reason I prefer to work in small multiple batches.
If your isomalt hardens before you have finished your drizzles, reheat in 5 second increments in the microwave. Without the addition of "white" the colour is a murky/clear green. For the Japanese forest cupcake I made a slurry of green tea powder and water to add with a drop of white food colouring. Solid colour density is achieved by adding a drop or two of white food colouring simultaneously with your colour of choice. Japanese Forest Cupcake offset piping and green tea flavoured black sesame isomalt drizzle to complete the organic look.
Scissors with oiled blades are used for cutting any errant threads of isomalt and can also be used for trimming/cutting the finished pieces into shapes if desired. Shaped drizzles hold their shape and you can create baskets or cages with the same method. Drizzle over your oiled mould of choice for shaped pieces or if using silicone you can drizzle directly on the surface. Start drizzling!! Drizzle directly onto a non stick baking mat for flat pieces. Try red isomalt drizzles for all your romantic occassions Gently lift your spoon up and down in the melted isomalt until it thickens slightly and it looks like this. Concentrated gel paste colour work best, as you don't want to add to much moisture to the isomalt. From there you can add a few drops of food colouring and flavouring if desired, move your spoon gently through the melted isomalt to incorporate colour. Pieces of sticks are melted in a microwave safe container, a small pyrex jug is ideal. though do oil the surface first, isomalt is mighty sticky! If you want to shape your pieces, silicone moulds or any food safe heat proof surface like a tin can, the back of a muffin tin etc can be used. The only tools you will need are: a spoon, a pair of scissors (oil the blades), a non stick baking mat and a small pyrex or equivalent microwave safe glass jug. The sticks are available in a range of colours, but I prefer colouring the clear isomalt myself. I used CakePlay's clear isomalt sticks in all today's pieces. but a lot!!) of dessert and cake decorating possibilities "isomalt drizzles" are quick and super easy to make when using precooked isomalt sticks.
