A quick break from cakes.

I found a recipe for these adorable gelatin orange and lemon slices in last months Food Network Magazine and had to make them for a potluck.  They were a HUGE hit.  Everyone wanted to know how I made them.  It was pretty simple.   Cut 2 oranges and 4 lemons in half.  Scoop out the pulp (this is a bit messy, I had to clean my glasses several times).  I juiced the pulp, drank the orange juice and saved the lemon for a pie.  Place empty peels in muffin tins for stability.  Mix 2 small boxes of orange jello with 1 1/2 cup of boiling water, stir for 3 minutes.  Fill the oranges to the brim.  Do the same for the lemons.  Let set for at least 3 hours.  Slice each half.  So cute!  But not nearly as healthy as the real thing :).

  1. My mum used to make these for our birthday parties in New Zealand (oh, about a gazillion years ago!!) Thanks for the reminder - I must make some for my little girl.

    Your cake work is AMAZING!!! What a talent. When I find things I like on blogs I always get so excited about trying it out for myself. Ha! I can tell you that I wouldn't even attempt to try - would only end in tears. Shar
