The butterflies are just like making the bows and flowers, you just use the butterfly gelatin mat (pm me and I will tell you where to get it) or you can try to free cut them out of the gelatin after it has dried. I don't know about Kosher gelatin, I would think it would work.

Thanks guys! I used ya'lls techniques to make a cake. Not gelatin bows, but a Halloween/ Friday the 13th cake. Haha I used it to make blood and water!. The "water" was done by painting gelatin out onto the back of a 6 in. cake pan with a can of Pam on it (to make a hole for Jason to be popping up out of.. in the movies he kills a lot of people in the lakes)

The water was laying flat until I accidentally put it in front of a fan, it curled right up. But it was ok because it makes the water look like it was rippling and bloodier.

hey was wondering if anyone has found a way to flavour them yet?

Aussie - take a look into this thread and you'll see where we used flavored SugarFree Jello to make these. It works fine but I can't see anyone eating these except some children.

Some new flowers, this time used on a cake.

Thanks Cookie

Beautiful job A!!

I don't know if this has been asked before but can you use this to make diamonds. I have a diamond ring mold that I would like to use and was wondering if I this would work and if I could paint the band? Thanks guys!

simply stunning!!! I would love to give these a try!!

Hi, I read this article about the bows...so I tried doing it with 30gauge wire dipped in the gelatin for wings on butterflies and dragonflies...so far so good.. will post again when it dries.

Thank you for sharing!

Newbie here. I've read almost all of the 55 pages of this thread and, although it was very frustrating at first, eventually most of my questions were answered. However:
What is a bump?
What is a sticky and where do you find it?
Could somebody post somewhere a glossary for all of the acronyms? Some I figured out, but..... HTH? others?
I'm puzzled by "here is a picture of..." and there is no picture or link and I don't see it by clicking on the Photos button. What's up with that? Is there a picture archive somewhere for just this thread?
I'm looking forward to trying this technique.

Hi can you send me the title of the book that explains on how to make these.
Many Thanks
Julie

It's Gelatin Flowers in Bloom I think. It's available at Global Sugar Art.

All the gelatin designs are awesome! I can't wait to try this! Thanks for sharing.

I hope it is as simple as she makes it look.

It is, it's very easy to do!

I am so going to try these this week end. Should be a lazy week end.. perfect time to play with this...

well they did not turn out like I hoped...will try something different for butterfly wings

What happened?

Can someone explain to me how the bubbles are made with balloons...having trouble visualizing the whole thing....

Let's start with a blown up water balloon....So I crisco or PAM the outside of the balloon???.....I then paint on the gelatin....then what?????? How do I get the balloon out of the way?????

TIA

That's a whole 'nother process. It's in the Gelatin Bubbles thread.

What do you use vodka for in the process of making gelatin flowers?

When you are making things like carnations or flowers with petals that curve, spritz with vodka and that allows the dried gelatin to become pliable enough to curl but not break.

I would like to know how you make a butterfly? can you help me with that please?

And again, if anyone needs help with this - just ask!![/quote]
