Left: bubbles from gelatin sheets Right: bubbles from powdered gelatin Instead, they looked like the bubbles on the right: This might not be a problem if I was going to add color to them, but I wanted them to look transparent, like glass. When I made my first batch of bubbles, I was disappointed to see that they were a cloudy, dingy beige color, with lots of air bubbles and a murky appearance. However, all of the tutorials I saw for gelatin bubbles assumed that I’d want to add food coloring or luster dust or some sort of coloring agent to the gelatin. The actual method isn’t too hard, and if you prepare them like those tutorials suggest, you probably have the ingredients (powdered gelatin and water) in your house already. I first read about gelatin bubbles when I pinned this gorgeous pearl cake from Cake Central, and I first saw them on cupcakes when Heather made these Bubble Gum Frosting Cupcakes. How funny would it be to serve your guests snow globe dinosaur cupcakes? We wish you a merry rex-mas… To fill the snow globes, I used some trinkets I found at the local craft store and cake supply store: cute little snowmen, reindeer, evergreen trees…and maybe a dinosaur or two I stole from my son’s collection. If you’re using standard water balloons like I was, you’ll probably want to make sure to leave a margin along the edges of the cupcake, because the gelatin balloon will be a little smaller than the cake and you want to keep the coconut “snow” inside the balloon’s walls. I used regular vanilla cupcakes and topped them with a thin layer of vanilla buttercream, then I rolled the tops in shredded coconut. You’ll probably want to focus your attention on the cupcake underneath, anyhow. In that way, they’re like royal icing or gum paste decorations on cakes-they won’t hurt you if you eat them, but there are lots of things that are way more tasty. The bubbles are made of gelatin and water, so although they’re technically edible, they’re probably nothing you are going to want to eat. No, the real stars of the show, and the reason I’m still finding gelatin drips in the corners of my kitchen, are the beautiful gelatin bubbles perched on top of each cupcake. The cupcakes themselves aren’t anything special-you can use your favorite cupcake and frosting recipe, or even a box mix and canned frosting, if that’s what this crazy holiday season requires.
It took a lot of experimenting, several last-minute gelatin purchases, some late-night disasters, and a few choice words mumbled under my breath, but at last, this Christmas dessert finally lives up to the idea in my head! When I first thought of these, it took several months of dreaming and scheming to make them a reality.
