i'm with cindy on this. when the thread started, the op gave directions for making the gelatin but over time as people experimented with it, a lot of ideas devloped.
loucinda was instrumental in the process so checking her posts on the subject would be very helpful. also bobwonderbuns made big contributions so it would be good to read her posts on the subject too.
thanks again to the two cindys! |
Absolutely, you are right crazydoglady, BWB was also most helpful. I neglected to mention it therefore a big THANK YOU as well!

What do you use to get the disco dust to adhere, water? |

BWB - that article is the very first posts of this (see page 1!) - it isn't a new one. I think Jackie just made the article instead of making it a sticky. (not complaining!!) It sure makes it a lot easier to find the post for me! 
NO - do not use water, it will make the gelatin dissolve. You have to use something with a high alcohol content or use warm gelatin or piping gel. |

Really cool technique! I am anxious to try it. This may have been covered somewhere in the 31 pages of this topic but does anyone know off hand if this has been used for larger leaves? I am making a cake next week that will have large (like maple) leaves around and on a basket.... |

i have gelatin molds (the butterflies) and they are about 2 1/2 inches. i also have the "gelatin in bloom" book which was published by the op diane simmons, and there are instructions for flowers so i don't know why you couldn't make bigger leaves. the op also sells leaf veining molds that you may want to check out.

For folks that are just getting this thread - you have to look at the FIRST pages to get how to do it.
I do not mind at all giving people the link to this posting - the "article" that was posted is NOT a complete how to on this subject, it does not show the complete how to on the bows and such. I have posted multiple times to refer back to this thread. (literally several times a day!) It would have been so much nicer as a sticky. There are NO other posts that have as many hits as this one (almost 44,000 today)
I hope everyone is having fun with it! I am anxious to try some of the christmas flowers to see how they turn out. |

BWB - I will do that!
Cathcart - thanks for the bump and that helps - we can just keep it close to the front.
Did anyone see the gelatin lego blocks with the lights in them the other night on The Ulitmate Cake Off?? Very cool! |

I can't find a pic of them. She made a mold out of silicone and used that for the gelatin - after it was done, she used an LED to light it up (I will have to watch the episode again to see where exactly she put the LED) they were very cool though!
I have also pm'd Heath about the sticky. |

Thanks Lees!! In the first video - towards the end where Kate is talking about the cake - you can see the gelatin blocks with their lights blinking! |

You are welcome. It was odd that a co-worker mentioned this challenge at work on Friday, so we looked up the clips to see the "water slide" on the winning cake. I saw the lights then and thought that they were really neat. |
