Fondant
Yes, you can add xanthan gum to fondant to improve its elasticity and stability. A small amount can help prevent cracking and make the fondant easier to work with, especially in humid conditions. However, be cautious with the quantity, as too much xanthan gum can make the fondant overly sticky or difficult to handle. It's best to start with a tiny amount and adjust as needed.

Fondant is an excellent medium for creating decorations on cakes. It can be rolled out to cover the surface and also poured to make different shapes. Gum paste is also a great way to make detailed decorations. It is stronger than fondant and can be rolled out very thin. It dries hard and can be brittle to work with so extra care must be taken to avoid breaking pieces you've created!
