3D Jelly Cake


Date    :          15 May 2016
Time   :          2.00-6.00pm
Venue :          Setapak Green Condo, 3, Jalan Semarak Api, Off Jalan Gombak, 53000 Kuala Lumpur
Price   :          RM350
Chef    :          Aki (a Vietnamese lady) – 013 207 1752

(Brought back recipe on how to make jelly, 5 small bags of jelly powder, jelly art tools and our own decorated jellies; 1 jelly cake each of 3” and 8”)


This was my 1st time attending a jelly cake decorating course. The jelly cakes were all prepared for us on the table when we arrived.

We were given the recipe and informed that the jelly cakes need at least 2 hours to harden and to let it cool before decoration can commence. We were introduced to all types and kinds of decorating tools. Each tool set costs about RM55-65 (depending on Silver or Gold).

We were taught/informed about:-

(a)       how to make jelly colouring to be injected into jelly cakes
            -by using fruits, for example dragon fruit to create red colour
(b)       how to hold the jelly art tools and which type of tools will create the different flowers;
(c)       how to angle the tools so that the flowers created blossom and grow
-jellies injected must be close together and sometimes overlap
(d)       what to do if your needle is blocked
            -put into hot water and clean it;
(e)       what to do if your coloured jelly cools down
-need to put into microwave and make it hot again; and
(f)        how to remove the unnecessary jellies after injecting jellies into jellies
            -remove it by using a spoon while still hot

It was a very interesting lesson and I enjoyed it. After decorating, another jelly layer was poured onto the jelly to make the base.
