I am making a swimming pool cake for my nieces birthday this weekend, and I thought I would make the water blue jello. Do I just well out a hole and fill it with jello? Should I put buttercream under it? I think it will look great, but I don't know how to accomplish it.
Thanks!!

I have seen a link somewhere, may try jello, but I saw a cake that used jello for water; I don't think they did anything special; Might have put a hole in the cake for the jello.
I have done it before. I just cut a hole out of my cake that was to be the pool (mine was an ice chest) then I line that holewith waxpaper and pour the jello in to set.
I almost forgot... make sure your hello is partially set. What I mean is...make sure it's not a thin liquid. Let it set to a gel-like consistency before you pour it in, that way it won't seep into the cake.
try this link. i made this cake last month, it was pretty easy, and the kids loved it.

I've done a few of cakes with jello on them. I've attached one of the "pond". I cut out the are where you want the pool. I thinned out some buttercream icing & put down first. There will be some crumbs but that's ok. It look good. The spoon on the jello.... Works great. I all ways put the jello on right before I deliver the cake, not sure if I have to do that I just do ir just in case it might run. It think I also have a grooms cake in my pics. that has jello too. Good luck!!!!
