Easy to Make Gelatin Bubbles for Cake Decorating

- Gelatin bubbles look really cool, luckily they're fairly easy to make! They do take a good bit of time to prepare, but they will last for years if you store them properly.
I prefer to work with small batches of gelatin at a time (1 packet with 2 tablespoons of cold water). This gives me more options for different colors. However, you might find it easier to coat the balloons if you have a larger amount of gelatin in your bowl.
Before dipping the balloons, you need to cover them with a very thin layer of shortening. If it is too thick, the gelatin will just roll right off. If it's too thin, the balloon won't release easily from the bubble.
After 3 coats of gelatin, the bubbles need a full 24 hours to dry. They will sound like hard plastic or glass when you tap them. If they still sound and feel like rubber, they need more time.
These gelatin bubbles were the perfect cake topper for my pink champagne cake! They would also look great on a bubble bath or aquatic themed cake. I'd love to hear how you plan to use your own bubbles. Leave me a comment below :D

Can they be filled with liquids ,? Like a glaze? My daughter wants to try the no blank space cake
I've never tried that, but I don't think it would work. The gelatin will go soft and eventually melt when in contact with liquid for a period of time. But, again, I've never tried filling them, so I can't say for sure.
How long can you store them for?
I have some that I made over 4 years ago! If you store them properly, they can last for many years. They are fragile and humidity can damage them, so I placed mine in an air tight container with some balled up wax paper to prevent them from jostling around. We even moved from Maryland to Texas in the middle of the summer a few years ago and they survived the trip.
Once you put them on a cake, I'm not entirely sure how long they'll last. I've only placed mine on right before serving. I believe they'd be okay for at least a few hours, if not longer. But really depends on the humidity in your fridge. They will become a bit cloudy (due to humidity) after time in the fridge and if you left them in there long enough, they would also start to melt or wilt.
Is this adible or not.is this inly for decoration,?
Technically, these gelatin bubbles are edible because they are just gelatin and water (plus food coloring and/or luster dust). However, they will not taste very good. You could possibly improve the flavor by adding a bit of vanilla to the mixture, but that will affect the color and consistency. I always remove the bubbles before slicing and serving.
How could I make this with gelatine leaves?
I am not sure. I've never worked with gelatine leaves. But if you figure out how, I'd love to hear about it.
I wonder the same but i cant see the replies
I'm going to try it with gelatin leaves. You need warmer water to let it melt and let it cool down a little longer :)
