Sorrel, Vicky and I decided to experiment making jelly early on because we weren't sure how long they'd keep/how much gelatin we should use/how to put objects inside the jelly.
It's safe to say our first test was a disaster. After arranging the food inside the moulds we poured in the liquid and all the food would move and float around making it very hard to keep them in place. The colours came out great and if we could keep the objects in place I think they would look fantastic.
We all agreed to do more research and tackle the task again later. After doing some research and watching some Youtube tutorials I learned that the best way is to pour in the liquid in small amounts, then put it in the freezer for a few minutes before adding more. I also read a trick to make a more solid ballistic jelly. This made me realise we also needed a lot more gelatin if we wanted these jellies to be sturdy and not fall apart.
The final jellies were a great success due to our research! Picture of the final jellies are on the last page.
