Hi, Cakesbyrosi,
The tylose is added if you want it. You have a softer fondant without it, and it is not necessary to add it. I usually add a little bit, even if it’s to cover the cake, but very little. If I’m making pearls, swags, buttons, etc., I will knead extra tylose in. I love this fondant, as it does not get dry and brittle right away, like some purchased fondants. I hope you like it!
