But since this is recipe blog, I figured I’d share some pointers on making jellies so you don’t waste your time and toss the whole thing out because the layers are perfect! Even if they aren’t, totally worth eating because #nofoodwaste please.

tips for making jelly cake or jellies

• Always whisk your agar agar powder into the liquid before you heat it. This allows for the agar agar powder to mix in with the ingredients well to prevent any clumps.
• Use a whisk! This ensure even distribution of your liquids. A fork does not cut it.
• Make sure to monitor your jelly liquid and do not over boil. Once it hits a boil, lower it to a very low simmer. Keep your jelly liquid over low heat before pouring into the mold. This ensures your jelly stays as a liquid. If you remove it off the heat source, it will solidify very quickly.
• Once your slowly and carefully pour your first layer of jelly into the mold and freeze it to firm the layer faster!
