- This is a recipe that I adapted off a blog. Sugar lace is so popular and trendy at the moment that I could not resist feeling inspired and wanting to share what worked so well for me :)
I did forget to mention in the video that the amount of water will affect how firm/brittle or pliable your Sugar lace will dry - please watch part two Video on how to dry it and use a silicone mat to create beautiful edible lace.
Here are my metric measurements:
125ml water
10ml tylose powder
15ml icing sugar
30ml corn flour
2,5ml meringue powder
5ml liquid glucose
2ml glycerine
* A teaspoon being 5ml
Please also read all the comments and questions as well as the second parts as it contains helpful hints and info.

Thank you so much!
No one in this area does sugar lace. I have been using Sugar Veil for around 5 or 6 years but it can be a bit $$ and it brings my blood pressue up when it sticks to itself. This has such a great finish and cuts nice on the cake. I did make a few domes and baskets by placing a cut out lace flower design in a cupcake tin and putting it in the oven at 100 degrees F for about two hours, then turned the oven off and just left the light on with the tins inside until it cooled . When I removed them they we dry and a bit brittle but not fragile. Made beautiful little umbrellas and domes to place atop iced cupcakes. I also used my airbrush to give them colors and glimmer. I was very light handed but It worked well. Thank you so very much. I am just recovering from months of chemo after breast cancer and is post gave me the incentive to become creataive again. I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I am so happy that you loved it so much! Thank you so much for your kind words
God Bless!
I have watched this video about 100 times and read the comments before attempting this.
I am from Trinidad and I couldnt seem to find meringue powder so I omitted it and did everything else and I used liquid food colour. IT WORKED!
The weather here is hot during the day and just after four hours it dried and i could take them out. I have them on a paper towel here staring in amazement.
Thank you for this wonderful informative video. I hope everyone who tries it has as much success as I did. God bless. :D
+Shaliza Mohammed You can get the Meringue Powder in Ocazio. It's upstairs Bradford Mall in Port of Spain. How did you put it to dry?
+Khadijah Prince I left the first one out when the weather was nice and hot and it dried well. They weather wasnt so nice when i needed to make more so i put it in the oven on the lowest temp with the oven door ajar since i have a gas oven. The finer lace patterns were still sticky and wasnt coming out as well but the larger lace patterns it worked well. I think it would dry better if you use the meringue powder in it. And it was flexible even a week after.
I just made it but didn't have the meringue powder but it does work better since the powder will help the drying process. The weather has been really hot these days so hopefully it'll dry
+Khadijah Prince it will. Just leave out on the counter tomoro and by after lunch u shud be good to go. Add me on fb
Thank you sooooo much for your tutorial. You just saved me $75.00. Some cake supply stores charge too much for these courses, so, thank you again. Good job
You are most welcome, glad I could help ;)
Hi there, thanks a bunch for your recipe of sugar lace. Yours is the first one I tried, and though the lace came out perfect without any breakage, it was a bit to dry and brittle for me to work with :-( But I tweaked the recipe a bit and the lace came out white without adding any white color, soft, pliable and it also dried sooner! Here's my version, do give it a try and let me know your thoughts :-)
1 tbsp Tylose powder
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp boiling water
1/4 cup confectioners sugar
1tbsp meringue powder
2tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp corn syrup/glycerine
+JendFran I have no meringue powder, just dried egg whites. any idea about meringue powder substitution? thanks!
+Martina Sille Powdered egg white is a suitable substitute for meringue powder;)
Where did your recipe go? I have the same stiff / breaking issue
I was thinking exactly about glycerine to prevent it from being too rigid.
Shannon Coburn I would add both, glucose or corn syrup and glycerine.
I was a bit reluctant to try this because my previous attempts at making flower paste have not gone very well & I was going to cop out and buy ready made sugar lace!! In the end though I decided to give it a go and was really pleased with the result. So quick and easy to make! Not as fluid as yours but result was great. Thanks for your help ;o)
i've tried the lace numerous times now, and I cannot use CMC. It makes it so thick. I can use tylose with no problem, but the CMC makes it super thick to where it's almost a solid lump, and I haven't adjusted the recipe. Just thought I'd mention this incase anybody is having issues with it being too thick. But love this recipe!
thats odd. I used cmc and i keep double checking the water as mine is so runny! In the oven right now so hoping for the best. mine is definitely on the runny side...
this is due to cmc and tylose have different strenghts
thank you for the recipe it work so well and it's not expensive and it works
I can't wait to try this!
(ps, put a link to your website in the description... better for SEO)
so easy to see and understand thank you
Thank you kindly for responding
This recipe works great. Thanks
You are a life saver, thank u so much for this video. One quick question; u said to boil the distilled water but do we use it hot or wait till it cools down?
+Desi Ree I found cool to be better :)
Is Wilton Gum-Tex Tylose Powder the same as the Tylose Powder you used in this video? The ingredients listed on the can is just cellouse gum.
can the mixture be stored? before using it, before spreading to make the lace... Thank you
Hi there :)
That should be the same, yes, as tylose and cmc are both cellulose powder
Let us know how it went
thank you for watching my video ;D
Well, this afternoon i made the sugar lace recipe. It was a little runnier than yours, but OMG! I LOVE YOU! The recipe worked perfectly, so my first ever piece of sugar lace is a winner :D so so happy. I cannot thank you enough, Sugar Tree Cakerie thank you so so much.
Thank you so much for your reply and help I will try definitely your advice.
Thank you :) WORKED PERFECTLY, MUCH APPRECIATED.
if i have "royal icing mix", can i use that in the place of the powdered sugar, corn starch and meringue?
Apologies for not responding, I was still researching it as I haven't used royal mix myself, and completely forgot to respond. Thank you so much for the info Lexine ;)
Hello..would I get a different outcome if butter or coconut oil is added to the mixture?
You can get allot of Silicone Lace Mats on Ebay they are fairly cheap.
A very informative video that helps us avoid buying unnecessary things like "sugarveil"... However, when the ingredients call for "icing sugar" are you speaking of the French "sucre en poudre"? Thanks for the video...
Thank you got it in the end didn't know how to freeze screen I do now
hi Sugar Tree Cakerie Thank you sooooo much for this recipe. I am going to try making it. Happy Easter :)
Thanks for your feedback - you made my day ;)
Sugar Tree Cakerie well you have made my caking life! I cannot believe how easy it was, and how much it feels like material. I've even thought of my daughters birthday, with cupcake toppers, and matching table runners made of edible sugar lace. lol. My daughter said it tastes like paper.. so I asked her how much paper she's been eating. hahahaha. anyway, cheers... Love it :)
Hi mam good day😁 just asking about the glycerine, base on your video it is without glycerine but to your metric measuring i saw the glycerine there😁
It is just a fail safe. The lace will work without it but it is a bit better and more pliable with glycerine.
do have to spray the silicone with oil before applying the sugar lace every thime? on the vidio i didnt see
Hi
Just a little bit- not so much that it forms "puddles" so to speak. Keep the bottle far above the mat and give a quick spray. Lustre dust or pearl dust should act as release too if dusted in your mould before applying the mix ;)
In your "latest adaptation" measurements you list the amount of meringue powder as being 2,5. Did you type a comma instead of a period by mistake, meaning 2.5? Or do you mean you can use 2 to 5 ml. depending on consistency?
+WhichWaysThisWay In our country the decimal is used to separate numbers so 2.5/2,5ml , not 2-5ml :)
Hi;
I want to know if the mixture that is left can be stored and must I heat it in the oven, I have a gas oven with no fan :o
Hi,
Can you add the glycerin when making the sugar veil? You have said 2.5ml would that be in tsp?
Thank you for sharing with us.
Hello, I have to questions, can I use regular or boiled water instead distilled ? and this sugar lace is elastic enough to work? I been using sugar dress Martellato of course EXpensive but really good much better the sugarveil which breaks easy.
Thank you
+Marcella J. Boiled water that has cooled is fine, it is elastic with the addition of glycerine (2ml)
Hi, sorry if this has already been asked. But I'm wondering about coloring the paste, esp black. With the more gel color, will I need to use less water?.. Or will it not effect the texture or use of it in any way? Thank u!!!
+MsHalabaloo It takes the colour very easily though so you shouldn't have to add too much :)
Hello thank you for the video tutorial is great ..I am making at this moment but seems like 1 table spoon tylo makes very lumpy very thick consistency so i took away half of the mixture and continue what its left in the bowl and after added almost 1 more cup of water on the top of the mixture and now i ve very smooth texture .water was boiled water but it was a bit warm.Do you think it could cause the problem ?thanks again for your time and effort x
melissa love sorry and also can you please tell me how long and how we should store the left overs thanks again xx
I think the temperature might affect it yes, I advise cool water as putting too much will make it dry too brittle ;)
Sorry, replied on the other one. Best to make it all and store the lace in a sealed bag( the mix should keep in the fridge for 3 days- remix before use) the made lace will store for up to a month ;)
Hi Mel, you can also adjust the tylose to 10ml as the grade will effect the consistency;)
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. I tried it and it worked beautifully. I didn't bake it in the oven and it still dried, I added liquid glucose and glycerine to the mixture, one week later my lace is still flexible. 😊
Hi. Did I do something wrong ? When mixing the tylo powder with 1/2 cup water, mine was so lumpy, although it went clear it was not liquid. Therefore I had to keep adding water. Until I reached an approximate of what the video looked like.
Tylose strength can differ around the world/suppliers. Just try it with less next time;)
I found the conversion EXCEPT for the "cup" how much is a cup in gr or ml ???? Thanks
A cup would be 250ml ;)
is meringue powder required for sugar lace?
Thanks for your video, can't wait to try this. Question though , what recipe should I be following the recipe in the video or the one written in the description ? Was the recipe revised?
+CrazyBrazilianCook Apologies, I thought you commented on another tutorial. The revised recipe in the description is the correct one :)
Thank you!! =)
Does using more water make it more pliable please? Does it stay pliable or does it eventually go brittle?
Hi, adding some glycerine should make it more pliable. More water can cause it to go brittle yes, less water should improve the elasticity, between 1/4cup and 1/2 cup (would not add more than that) hope it helps :)
hi jus wondering could i use cream of tartar instead of meringue powder?
Just omit it, it will still work ;)
what else we can use unstead of meringue powder ?
Hina Khan you can try 10-15ml egg white
Great stuff
Hi I tried your recipe and weight every thing but my sugar lace was very dry and crumbly I left the sugar lace dry by itself without using oven could you please tell what wrong I did
Hi there. Please read the comments of both videos as this question has been answered a few times ;)
Can I use corn syrup instead of liquid glucose?
That should be the same thing, yes :)
Hi there, I made this recipe and it came out so dry that when I tried to pull it out of the silicone it cracked. It also took really long to dry and was not pliable at all. Any idea what I may have come up short on should still add?? Pls let me know and thank u!
+MsHalabaloo add some glycerine ;)
how do I apply edible sugar lace to a buttercream cake?
Hi there, I cannot find the recipe in any of the previous comments, please can you be a hon and post again, will hugely appreciate it! thanks a million.
Hi
This is the latest adaptations ;)
125ml water
10ml tylose powder
15ml icing sugar
30ml corn flour
2,5ml meringue powder
5ml liquid glucose
2ml glycerine
I have a question, I have seen some of these lace shows on here and some of them heat the silicone mat at 175 dg for 10 to 20 mins. Does this need to go in the oven to warm? Can I use Fondant to lace, I have tried and it didnt work to well.
The mat does not need to be heated before hand, but once you have applied the mixture , it needs to be oven dried a little in the mat to be able to remove it within 10/20min (after its cooled) ;)
Thanks for your answer... Happy Holidays.
Do you have to use distilled water? or can it just be boiled
Thank you!!!!
Hi I have question I used exactly your recipe ,but turned dry and britteled I don't know what can I do. I dried overnight and in oven still the result was same. I will appreciate if u can help me.
Mina Zare did you add any glycerine at all? 2ml glycerine will help with the elasticity. And liquid glucose gives a stretch usually so it is strange that it goes brittle, I have some made 4 weeks ago thats still flexible
It's possible this has been asked, but how far ahead can I make these? How would I store them and the left over? Thanks!
You can keep them for up to 3 weeks when its made- just store it in a sealed ziplock bag, if you add glycerine for elasticity, make a small whole in the bag as moisture might accumulate in some humid areas. Glycerine(2ml) will keep it pliable and prevent it from going brittle
Hi there. I have tried this and similar recipes and I can not understand why my product more turns out like a wet dough more than that runny batter you have there. My only differences are that I use potato starch instead of corn starch and no meringue powder. However, as soon as I mix the water and glycose it creates small clusters of dough rather than a smooth gelatine-like consistency. Do you know what may be the problem?
*edit: as soon as I mix the water and TYLOSE of course....
You have to mix it until all the granules are dissolved and use cooled distilled water. It could also be your grade of tylose that is very strong, try to use a little less next time perhaps :) I haven't tried potato starch though so cant really advise how it would affect it but its interesting and I would like to try it, will update if I do at some point :)
M1sterMath I had to mix mine for 11 minutes before it was okay..
This recipe is awesome but how do you store the leftovers?
+Latonya Porter In a airtight ziplock bag once the lace is made and leftover mixture in the fridge for a few days:)
if egg white powder or meruinge cnt be found is the any other substitute
Just omit it, it will still work ;)
where do I find the exact measurements thks so much
Hi! Can I have the exact measurements of those ingredients you used? Thank you.. :)
Che Barbacena they are listed at the beginning of the video
Hello. I would like to know how can I store the paste? I have only one silicone mat, so I would need to make one lace and then another to cover around the cake. Thank you :)
You can cover it with a damp cloth in between uses, and then in a sealed tub in the fridge for 3 days ;)
Thank you so much :)
Sugar Tree Cakerie I was looking the recipe and wanted to ask which one is right... the one that is shown on the video without glycerin or the one that is in the comments below:10ml tylose powder
15ml icing sugar
30ml corn flour
2,5ml meringue powder
5ml liquid glucose
2ml glycerine
Would like to make some next week but would like to use the right recipe :) Thank you again, I cant wait to try it :)
Thank you for shareing
Thanx for posting! Where did you purchase your silicone mat, please?? Thank you.
Hi there, I purchased it locally but searching online to find a supplier or ordering online should work too ;) Its called a silicone sugar lace mat 👍 (some brands also sell it like sugarveil etc)
Thanx!
Hi!! can I use regular egg whites insted of powder egg whites??
Thanks!!
You can omit it or use 2ml eggwhite ;)
Sugar Tree Cakerie thank you so much! I will try to make some laces tomorrow...my first!
Could please tell me where did you both this mat? Thank you
+Tina Berg where are you located? Most online cake supplies stores sell them ;)
Quick question... Is Tylose the same as Gum-Tex? Thank you. Lovely video!
Hi, I think that might be your local brand name for tylose, yes, as long as its plant cellulose it should be the same;)
poderia citar os ingredientes em português por favor?
Can the veil be eaten? Thank you.
+Ana Espinal yes it can although its best to remove it before serving as it doesnt particularly taste like anytging. Sorry I missed your comment
Would you have the conversion of tbs, cup, tsp in grams or even in oz please, Thanks !
Hi, the measurements I used in metric was in ml. 5ml for a teaspoon and 15ml for tablespoon;)
I had the good idea to buy measurement cups and spoons on eBay ....
Hi every1,
What are instead of meringue powder?
I see someone says also cmc make it to thick,
Help us plz
You can Leave the Meringue powder out( or replace with egg white 10ml) but the cmc is a crucial part to make it set unfortunately.
cmc has different strengths so just play around with it and experiment a bit. use less if it is too thick
hi is tsp or tbsp. for tylose?
10ml would be the accurate amount ;)
First try it was wat to thick😖. iwill try again
try adding a little bit of glycerine or water :) just not tooo much, start with a few drops
Hi. Does the water have to be hot?
Hi there :) No, the water must be boiled but cooled or used at room temp or distilled water can replace it
Thanks
hi how many days will it dry?can i make it fast drying?
Nins Belleza it will dry overnight or with the oven, check the second video;)
ok thank u
I can't get hold of typos or cmc
Can I use anything else?
Only those two will work, I haven't tried Dyocell(another type) yet, maybe try to research that locally or perhaps try a gelatin lace version ;)
Sugar Tree Cakerie thanx but I cant seem to get hold of any tylose so maybe gelatin will work?
The meringue powder is it 2.5 or 25 ml??
2.5 ;)
are these measurements UK or US?
The measurements in the video is US and the above comment of the updated recipe is in Metric (UK)
Everyone is talking about the recipe, but I am not seeing it,
Where is the recipe for this Sugar Lace.? I don't see it on here. I really want to to try this.
+Jackie Copeland
125ml water
10ml tylose powder
15ml icing sugar
30ml corn flour
2,5ml meringue powder
5ml liquid glucose
2ml glycerine
+Sugar Tree Cakerie what is corn flour? is that corn meal?
+CrazyBrazilianCook No, it is Corn Starch ;)
Thanks for the reply =)
+Sugar Tree Cakerie ,
Just want to be sure I understand the 2,5ml meringue powder is that a total of 10 ml ?
how to store it

:( I should have read through comments first. Used the amounts in the video and ended up with a tight blob, started adding water to it and I'm guessing 3/4C more. Still seems too tight to spread.
I've done more reading online about this recipe. 2 things I've discovered...1 quality of tylose seems to be a huge factor. I'm going to only use 1/2T next time. 2, not sure if the Distilled water should be boiling hot or at room temp. People swear by each method but again quality of Tylose would come into play here. Your thoughts would be appreciated! 😄
Roxanne B I've had this exact same issue today!
Almost a full cup of water and more glycerine before it was spendable. I'm wondering if it shouldn't be 1 teaspoon not table
Can you please write in gram measurement and not metric?
I would like to try it out!
Thanks a lot!!!
Erika Dimgba metric is grams. you can find it in the description of the first video ;)

здравствуйте подскажите а есть ваши видео уроки на русском языке ?
+Ирина Решетникова sorry, only understand English
Where is the recipe?
Doris Beckman In the description of the video;) click the drop down ➡
thanks so much! just subscribed! can you talk sometimes? its just much easier and faster to understand everything...
Hi i tried it and baked it in oven at 120 temp fr 8 min and flames both sides but it turned brittle.and broke :( can u tell me where i might be lacking?
Aalya rai 120 is way too high
the temp should barely be on if on at all, it mainly uses the fan and oven light to help dry it out faster. not actual heat
Sugar Tree Cakerie okk...so can u tell me how should bake it and for how long?
Please answer me
too quick on the screen cannot write it cdown
You could just pause it. Lol. It is also in the description of the video though
Very poor quality video can hardly see the ingredients needed or the quantities
Thank you for the feedback, however, please try to watch our tutorials using a proper connection so the data speed of your network does not automatically reduce the quality. It is recorded in high definition but will load at a lower speed using a cellular network, we recommend wifi connections for high data speed so that the video quality is not automatically reduced by youtube for your device and all text can be seen clearly ;) I will also add the quantities in the recipe description - happy baking :)
Posted the ingredients in a comment above ;)
