Made my first ever mold outta silicone to clone a miniverse jelly I thrifted and a bunch of candy molds I thought would make good aspic shapes and it worked! The candles had to be added to offset some gravity cause I didn't make enough of the mix to fully cover everything without them.

I think I touched the primer on this one when it was still drying so it has a texture to it, but somehow I think that adds a more jello skin-like effect so we're keeping it.

The miniverse jelly came out perfectly but is a little off-level so I gotta sand the bottoms at some point.

Ours uses sugar free lemon jello, and adds carrots which greatly enhance the eye appeal. It’s also a bit sweet, so you might consider…
