Frequently asked questions about making gum

Frequently asked questions about making gum

Can I use Agar powder (jelly powder) instead of gelatine?

Agar powder or gelatin are both used to create adhesion in foods or baking recipes. However, agar makes the cake texture more brittle and hard, so you should not use agar as a substitute for gelatin because it will accidentally lose the inherent softness and flavor of the candy.

What mold do you use to make marshmallows?

To make it easier to take the candy out of the mold, you need to use molds made of silicone material. In particular, they also have very beautiful patterns and are easier to clean after use.

Use fruit juice or syrup to make candy?

Juice or syrup are both suitable for making candy. However, the amount of sugar in syrup is higher than in juice, so if using juice instead of syrup, reduce the amount of lemon juice in the recipe.

Can I use the outside diameter of the candy?

You can use powder or sugar to coat the outside of the candy. However, when using diameter to coat candy, after a while, the candy will be soft and sugary. Therefore, you should use finely ground sugar or granulated sugar to coat the candy.

No need for a candy coat with sugar okay?

The sugar coating will help the candies not stick together and especially help the candy to be preserved longer . However, you can also skip this step if you find it too difficult.
