Lemon Jelly Cake. Heard of a cake or frosting made of jelly (jello)? Well it exist and here´s the evidence! I simply love the zingy taste of this cake…
I was doing a search for lemons and that´s when I got the idea to make jelly frosting, which led me to a cake recipe made of jelly as well!
This frosting couldn´t be easier to make! The trick with adding the jelly powder to your cake batter, is to make sure you add extra liquid. You can easily use your favourite cake recipe and adjust it slightly by adding the extra liquid. The jelly seriously adds a zingyness to your cake especially when you add it to the frosting too. It´s so good!
To decorate the cake I added some sour striped coloured candy strips to the bottom and 4 swirls on the top. I also added some yellow sanding sugar. On the tops of the cupcakes, I used the same candy but used it to cut out flags. I think they look so cute!
Then as you guys can see on the photo above, I added the leftover rainbow striped candy to the top of the glass drinking jars with pretty coloured straws. These are ideal for kids parties!
