I had seen a recipe for some sort of gelatin sheet that can me made into bows and butterflies. very pretty but what i am wondering is how is the taste and texture? do people eat it and like it? I love cake decorating but i like to stick to things that not only look good but also taste good. i would love to know about this gelatin thing.

i,ve used gelatin sheets to make bumble bee wings .like nick lodge does on his dvd.. no, i wouldn,t eat them.. the bee is so hard,etc.. people use them to make windows on gingerbread houses, etc.. hth a lady at ices convention.. rosa somebody uses it is her gumpaste.. i have her recipe. so it is used in lots of different ways.

See the sticky in the "how do I" forum, a few pages in you will see different ideas that ppl tried to make it taste better.

If you add sugar free jello in the color/flavor appropriate the flowers and wings taste great but be careful of wires.
