A couple weeks ago, my nephew had a Black Panther Birthday party. When I asked my sister-in-law what I could bring to the party, she quickly replied that she wanted me to bring a jello. AND NOT JUST ANY JELLO…. A BLACK PANTHER JELLO.
What!? How was I going to do that?
I thought about it for a few days and decided to go about it by tracing the character’s outline first and then filling it in. Just like you would with a iced sugar cookie.
It worked perfectly. I used a flower tip to create the necklace on Black Panther and then just used a straight tipped needle and syringe to create the rest.

With this technique, the POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.
You can create anything you want.
Black Panther.
Hulk.
Santa.
Elsa.
Rainbow Bright.
Whatever your fandom is.
JUST REMEMBER THAT THE JELLO IS MIRROR IMAGE OF WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE FINISHED.
I did write my nephew’s name on the jello, but I had to write it backwards.
One of these days I’m going to invest in some alphabet molds that are typically used with fondant. But I know they would be perfect for jello. Then I won’t have to worry about my handwriting on the cakes.
Also, I had to use Knox Brand Gelatin while making this gelatin cake because my nephew’s name is Knox. What’s more fitting than using Knox Brand Gelatin to make his birthday jello cake.
Below are some links to some products on amazon that you could use to create your own jello art characters. (I know it looks funny to have needles and syringes on my website. This is not a medical page, a diabetic page, or a drug addict page. It’s a jello art page and yes, we use needles and syringes to create our art.)
What kind of characters do you think you will try? What kind of characters do you think I should try sometime?
