Jello molds
When I found these,
in one of my favorite local haunts;
I had a hankering for this
old school dessert.
Jello, in old-fashioned decorative molds.
The tag said ‘old.’ So I don’t think they ‘re quite vintage, but no matter.
I couldn’t help imagining how lovely the brightly colored dessert
would look prepared in these fancy individual portions.
Oh and how darling they might be at a child’s birthday; set
out on all kinds of petite pedestals!
So, I made up a quick box.
The Raspberry red really is quite stunning in
the ornate mold.
After the prerequisite several hours
I dipped the bottom of the mold in warm water for a few seconds,
and carefully turned the Jello ‘jewel’ out ~ on a very tiny footed stand.
How cute!
Can’t you just see
a rainbow of colors, grape, lemon, lime and cherry, marching down
the birthday table?
Or layer the different flavors in.
Oh my, how festive. Forget the cake,
I think the kids would be thrilled with this.
And how thrifty, pleasing the parents as well.
Off to find more molds…
Ciao,
