Creative Ideas for Jello

Jello Ocean Shapes

Set a pan of regular jello about 1 to 2 inches deep. Plan out some ocean creatures, like a shark, octopus, stingray or fish. When The jello is partially set, add gummy fish, gummy worms, candy corn, and other snacks into the jello. When the jello is fully set you can use a knife to carefully cut out a shark with candy corn teeth, an octopus with gummy worm tentacles, a stingray with a Twizzlers tail, or a big fish with a little gummy fish inside. You can also use cookie cutters to remove the shapes from the jello pan.

Jello Cake

Jello cake can be an easy party treat and bring some flavor to an old recipe. Bake a regular cake, any flavor, and let it cool. Then poke some holes in the cake with chopsticks or a skewer. After that, mix up some jello and allow it to slightly cool, but not become too thick and set. While it is still in a primarily liquid state, pour the jello over the entire cake. The jello will penetrate into the holes and give every bite some new flavor! Any flavor can go with vanilla, and try cherry jello with chocolate cake.

Jello Layers

Jello layers are squares of jello with flavors stacked on top of each other. Pick your first flavor, and let it sit in the refrigerator for an hour or two, then pour it into your mold. Mix your next flavor, and let it sit again and chill for an hour or two. Then pour it in. Repeat for as many layers you have room for. Make sure each layer is chilled and slightly thickened before you poor it, or it could mix with the layer below. Try adding whipped cream to add a little white shade to your colors.
