Jello Art

When I was a little kid, I always thought jello was the most interesting dessert ever.  Why?  Because the jiggly textures makes jello so special and unordinary.  And when I was kid, my mom used to make some colorful jello candies (covered with coconut shred), they were one of the most fun things to eat when you were a kid. 

I would like to share some jello arts I found online with you today (photographs from websites:  Eat Me Daily and South Jersey Real Estate; please visit these two websites for more information).  These "jello artists" took jello to another level - they used jello to create jewelries, food, and EVEN architectures and cities...these artworks just blown my mind away!

Look like a very fancy French dish

American classic - burger and fries

How about some caviar?

So tropical with the jello pineapple

Ready for BBQ?

Classy! 

If you like fashion and jewelries, how about some vintage style jewelries made from edible materials and jello:

Look like a piece of good jade

Can you tell they are jello from this angle?

An amazing artwork

 My day time job is an Environmental Planner, and I have a thing toward architectures and urban planning/design.  I just love to look at buildings (especially those historical ones=))

No, they are not paper weight!

Rosa Rodriquez was once a hopeless single mom without a job and now she is a successful business owner based in San Francisco, CA - Mexican-American jello artist, Rosa Rodriguez lose her job in 2009.  She was struggling to pay the bills and support her own kids.  She always knew art is something she was passionate about.  After losing her job, she started considering using her creative and artistic side of her brain to create an unique business (a combination of art and food) she always wanted and support the family.  She creates amazing jello arts by using syringes filled with colored gelatin, an artist's eye and a steady hand, she injects the colored gelatin into the clear, forming a design as she works (click here for video).   Now Rosa is a proud owner of Sweet Collection Catering company (check out her official websites for pictures, classes and ordering and catering information), a genius jello artist and a successful role model for her two kids.

Gelatinas are a Mexican standard, often served at quinceañeras and weddings, made in all shapes and sizes. Flowers are the most common designs, but Rodriguez takes custom requests, recently doing a special order of gelatinas for Google that bore the company logo.  And while they're usually fruit-flavored, Rodriguez also makes spiked versions--that is to say, fancy Jell-O shots--with tequila, rum and vodka. When seasonally appropriate, she has been known to bust out an eggnog version  (Source from Taste Table).

The story of Rosa is another inspiring and touching story for those once lose hope.  At that one particular moment, you might thought you lose everything, sit back and let your mind remind yourself "the best is yet to come!". 

More amazing jello arts will be posted soon...
