Ingredients:
Step 1:
- Blow up the balloons as large as you’d like your bubbles to be. Set aside
Step 2:
- Combine 2 parts cold water with 1 part powdered gelatine.
- Melting and coloring gelatine
- Pop the bowl into the microwave for about 10 seconds, just until the gelatin is fluid.
- Add petal dust, luster dust or edible glitter to color the gelatin. Keep in mind that gelatin is naturally yellowish in color, so you may need to play around with the colors a little to get the exact shade that you want.
Note: If no microwave, just put bowl of gelatine over a hot water and stir till it dissolves
- Coat the balloon with vegetable shortening.
- Dip a greased balloon into the melted gelatin.
- Turn balloon around until it’s coated, being careful to not cover the knotted part of the balloon. Dust on a little glitter while the bubble is still wet for even more sparkle.
- Set the lollipop stick into a cup or piece of Styrofoam. Repeat with the rest of your balloons and leave them overnight to dry.
- One layer should take about 12 hours, 2 layers will take up to 24 hours. Any more than two layers and your bubble will get chunky and gummy.
Step 4:
- Once the bubbles are dry, remove the balloon by using a pair of scissors to cut the knot.
- The balloon should come away from the sides of the bubble pretty easily. Don’t panic if your bubble caves in a little! These little guys are pretty resilient and can be pushed back into shape.
- Gelatin bubbles should be made a day or two before using. Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
- Pour any leftover gelatin out onto a piece of baking paper.
- Spread it into a thin layer using an offset spatula. Let the gelatin set up overnight.
- Break up the sparkly sheets into coral-like pieces to tuck in among your bubbles.
- Crispy gelatin sheets can also be cut into squares or with hole punches to make confetti. Get creative and see what you can make out of gelatin!
