Cookie Adhesive Recipes

The Food52 Gingerbread House Glue Post Promises to Cement Treats

— December 19, 2014 — Naughty
The Food52 Gingerbread House Glue post promises to help readers put delectable cookie-stacked structures together. According to the entry, the paste is rock solid, cementing slabs of ginger snaps together without the need for touch ups.

This recipe produces enough of the faux glue for a single gingerbread house. In order to make the mixture, all one needs are three large egg whites, cream of tartar and powdered sugar.

After blending the ingredients together, the guide recommends using a piping bag to apply the white adhesive to the four edible walls. Depending on how the structure turns out, it can be continuously applied until the posts stand up straight. For those with limited amounts of time in the kitchen, this will make Christmas decor a bit easier.
Trend Themes
1. Edible Adhesives - The use of edible adhesives in baking and confectionery industries could offer greater flexibility and versatility in food constructions, as well as new opportunities for flavor and texture experimentation.
2. Sustainable Packaging for Baked Goods - With the increasing popularity of baking and confectionery creations, there arises a need for more sustainable and eco-friendly packaging solutions that can preserve the quality and freshness of the treats while minimizing waste and negative environmental impact.
3. DIY Baking Kits - The rise in demand for at-home baking projects presents an opportunity for businesses to offer DIY baking kits that provide customers with all the necessary ingredients and tools to create their favorite baked goods, including pre-made edible adhesives.
Industry Implications
1. Bakery - Bakeries could capitalize on the use of edible adhesives to create more intricate and visually appealing baked goods, as well as offer sustainable packaging options to appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
2. Confectionery - Confectionery companies could use edible adhesives to create new and exciting candy constructions that defy traditional shapes and sizes, as well as explore eco-friendly packaging solutions to reduce plastic waste.
3. Food Packaging - Food packaging companies could develop sustainable packaging options for baked goods and confectionery items, including those specifically designed to hold and dispense edible adhesives for at-home baking projects.
