This tasteless powder will help bind ingredients, absorb moisture and trap air bubbles in your cakey creations. Its properties make it perfect for use as a thickener in sauces, puddings, honey and more.

Xanthan Gum has the ability to bind together ingredients such as water and oil - ingredients which, under normal circumstances, cannot be mixed. It really is a cake making game changer!

You can also use it to make your own edible glue, gum paste and pastillage.

This jar is great value as you only need a teaspoon (or sometimes less) at a time! The 50g jar will last for a long time.

How to prepare Xanthan Gum

1. To make edible glue: mix 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gom with 4 tablespoons of water. Let the mixture rest for 10-20 minutes until the gom is completely dissolved. The result is a clear, colourless edible glue.
2. To make gum paste: knead 5 g xanthan gom with 250 g fondant. Then let it rest for 20-30 minutes before using.
3. To make pastillage: mix 1 teaspoon xanthan gom with 100 g royal icing. Let it rest for about 1 hour before using it.
