I Mastered The Gelatin Flower Cake

hey guys I think I'm back again this time to make another crazy cool desert thing I was just scrolling through my Instagram and I found this really cool flower looking cake think of like a raindrop cake but with a rose inside it looks really complicated so I thought why not try and make it myself what I did find was an online tutorial by gelatin art market I will work really hard and try and try and try again until I make it happen so let's get started for the gelatin base there's a couple things we need gelatin powder this one says super clear citric acid lots of sugar water quavering I chose lemon I think go add like a nice citrus touch three tablespoons of gelatin and one cup of cold water and then just mix it I'm gonna stir this until there's no more clumps left oh I'm gonna put that aside we're gonna start boiling the water and sugar 3 cups of water nobody felt tasty okay 2 cups of sugar 1 teaspoon of citric acid turn it on get a spoon and stir it until the sugar dissolves gelatin in the meanwhile it is now quite firm once I see steam I'm supposed to stop oh there is steam we have our beautiful gelatin here it is now completely in solid form throw it in there now we're just stirring that together add a little bit of flavoring this is pretty much done so I let it cool for a little bit we're just gonna pour it into these little containers that I buy in order to have enough backup if I screw up tomorrow I'm gonna make a lot just just to be safe I'm gonna wrap these up and put it in the fridge and we'll be back tomorrow for the really really hard part until then I'm gonna get a good night's sleep and see y'all tomorrow it is now the second day and we are back here to check on the gelatin I pulled them out from the fridge and guess what it's not falling out it looks clear which is what you want for a base I also made this huge tub of gelatin just for practice so let's go into the color making segment we'll see how the rest of this goes I don't like what we did with the gelatin base I need one tablespoon of gelatin powder now we need three tablespoons of cold water we're gonna throw in the sugar the milk let it heat up so now we have the heated milk and sugar looks a little translucent I'm gonna put the jelous in and out and slowly melt it down add the remaining half cup of cold milk we have to add the white food coloring makes it appear less translucent we're supposed to blend this in this is work it does work put this in a good idea oh my god oh yeah okay I think we have the color base so I have a couple of bottles of food coloring here just went with some classic flower colors waiting for it in case I feel ambitious enough to make leaps it's just like working with frosting we have our color palette ready not sure if the consistency is right yet but we're moving forwards let's get to flour making I have and gelatin art tools which are supposed to help me because they're already shaped like petals but we're gonna start off using this all right that's color I'm gonna need some tissue oh my god that looks like blood this is not a good color to start with okay really bad choice of color the idea was to poke this in and then this color is terrifying me but look so that's kind of what we're going for I know how do you do this the gelatin is working the color is working it's just that my hands aren't working I look like I just killed somebody let's try that again how am I supposed to draw a petal I guess that could be a cool design that looks like a cool flower I didn't even do that though I don't know how I did it hold on I need to do some retraining really quick oh they're holding it like this oh it looks better no I broke it I got a little so excited I just have these like deformed petals in this little tub I should have made a bigger tub didn't I try using this plug it into this these tools are supposed to help you so I'm hoping this will actually make it look more like a flower okay this is so much easier than a needle we're gonna test it out on one of the other practice little bowls I made so here we have your bowl we're gonna put this in I'm just gonna keep going I'm getting color all over my hands how does that look that's a little baby flower you guys it looks good right this makes me feel really good I'm gonna try and take it out let me just warm it up a little this is supposed to be the method to take it out oh my god flip it yes look at that I know it's not much but we went from this to this so I'm pretty pretty happy right now I'm so excited think we can make this work let's try working on a second one around - let's do it I'm gonna start off with actually this a flower center well I can feel like adrenaline pumping through my veins oh yes got the center in which one looks most like a rose please don't mess this up with this here PC add like a little rose petal I have little gelatin bits not a good sign I'm just supposed to build around this right Oh looking good so far I'm so nervous oh no I added too much color it's okay it's okay it's okay it's okay refill my god oh my god shaking I'm just gonna concentrate not talk for a bit try to get this to work this is so nerve-racking this is what it looks like so far I don't know how I got to this point it looks like a real rose and even has like random spots on it that makes it look more real I was so surprised oh no it's coagulating this is what happens when it sits here for a while it becomes clumpy that splotch was great that's what I'm trying to put them in like this pan of water so then I can control their consistency they were saying this is the best way to warm it up heating reheating preheating nice let's get back to business oh no I tore it I tore the gelatin so that is my cue to stop should we flip it what if I can't get it out here we go oh that was anti-climatic all right in the beginning it looked really good and then as I moved outwards it just became worse and worse but I think for a second attempt this still looks really cool we're getting somewhere can I keep going it kind of made a rose I know we could do one that's better but I wanted to try something different I don't want to mess around with the white and yellow make like a daisy but not really wants to do this just right in the middle oh my god can chill out so nervous do I know what I'm doing no I'm just trying to be creative it looks pretty cool changing colors to white oh let's do it [Music] holy moly a preview of what is about to come this takes time and patience all of the stuff that I have limited amounts of oh my god Oh cold sweat once you get going there's no stopping Oh more and more we're getting there I think slowly but surely let's go for another layer so far this is what we have I really want this to work it has to work just keep going just keep going ready tada I'm just gonna add some leaves it's a little ambitious I'm a completely mess up the whole thing but if this works this is gonna be magical that is not the sound of success please don't mess up here goes nothing [Music] looks like I don't have on but hold on I think we can make this work subconsciously holding my breath one more leaf oh my god here it is this is what it looks like with the leaves I'm gonna try and cover the base of white this is supposed to help the color pop I'm nervous oh my god I'm gonna put this in the fridge and we'll check on it in a bit moment of truth the white color base has set we're gonna try and flip this around this is going to be the ultimate flower I'm so nervous if this messes up I want him to do it all over again I don't want to rush it this really No Oh ready you guys how's that look it looks pretty legit I really did not think I would be able to do this I am super happy right now give me one second all right I have all the flowers I made it looks like a little garden really not the easiest things to make it's been a roller coaster ride would I eat it I'm gonna eat one right now here you go this is what it looks like it's a little bit jiggly would taste like lime jell-o let me know what you guys think if you think I did a good job what else you guys want me to make Anna I see y'all next time I'm gonna slowly walk away from this [Music]
