7 Hold it above the bowl for a

moment to allow the excess to drain

off. Turn it back up the right way and

stick it into the polystyrene.

8 The largest bauble may droop

under the weight of the gelatine

but this is ok, it shouldn’t affect the

result. Leave the baubles to dry

overnight. Do not be tempted to

touch them – the gelatine is very

sticky and the bauble will spoil.

9 Once dry, the bauble should

sound like glass when you tap it.

Snip a tiny hole by the knot to let

the air out. If the balloon does not

come away, gently press the stick

into the bauble to help it release.

10 The balloon should come away in

tact leaving a clean gelatine bauble.

11 Using the circles stencil, lightly

airbrush some small circles around the

centre of the cake. I used the smallest

three circles for this cake.

12 Add more circles, airbrushing a

little more heavily on this second layer.

The pattern should be random, and

mostly toward the middle of the cake.

13 Continue in the same way until the

pattern is built up. Use the smallest

circle to add some darker dots ➜
