For a richer flavor, consider using a flavored simple syrup instead of gelatin. Get creative with your gelatin flavors! Combine different flavors for a unique twist. Garnish with fresh berries or fruit slices for an elegant presentation. To prevent the cake from sticking, line the bottom of the cake pans with parchment paper before baking. If you're short on time, you can use store-bought cake layers.

Jun 1, 2024I accidentally used too much water for the gelatin, and the cake was a little soggy. Be sure to measure carefully!
