Why So Serious?!


Here in Singapore, jellies aren't regarded as highly as cakes. Well, come to think of it, that seems to be the case everywhere else I've been to! It's probably because there's nothing much you can do with jellies..nothing fancy, nothing eye-catching, nothing amazing. Right?

I was quite amazed when my mum showed me pictures of jellies she had done in the past - it was pretty hard to believe that some were actually made of jelly! There were fish, rabbits, roses, dolls...all in jelly form! It struck me that this was one area that wasn't explored much here and there was a good chance that many had no idea of the versatility and creative edge that jellies had.


The clown jelly wasn't particularly hard to put together but you have to get your measurements and mould sizes right or the assembly would turn into a terrible mess! You'd need a little luck with the clown's frilly collar as the peaks and troughs of the mould can cause the jelly to get stuck in places.


I still can't get the image of the completed thing off my mind..it's just one of those things that you'd never imagine possible!
