Layered Holiday Poke Cake

We all know that I love my poke cakes, especially for holidays. I love to make the holiday flag poke cake for 4th of July or Memorial Day barbecues, and to be honest, most of the time, I bake my poke cake in a 9X13 inch pan, but occasionally, when I’m not serving a big crowd, and I’m just making a poke cake for our […]

Small plastic cups filled with gelled raspberry gelatin made with vodka. There are fresh raspberries sitting on top of the gelatin mixture.

Gelled Raspberry Vodka Shots

Raspberry and vodka go well together. I mean, Smirnoff sells Rapberry Vodka, so there must be a market for it. That was actually what inspired this combination for the jello shots. Gelled Raspberry Vodka Shots are simple to prepare, and are very tasty. Give them a try. You’ll be glad you did. Making Gelatin Shots is a simple process, and they are a great thing […]

Cran-Raspberry Gelatin Salad

Cran-Raspberry Gelatin Salad

Cran-Raspberry Gelatin Salad is a variation on our Lemon Gelatin Fruit Salad. I chose not to refer to this variation as a fruit salad because, frankly, there wasn’t a lot of fruit in this combination. The whole berry cranberries just seem to disappear among the cottage cheese, and while this still has some texture, it wasn’t enough to call it a fruit salad. I love […]

Gelatin Parfait

Gelatin Parfait

This recipe for Gelatin Parfait created some debate in our household regarding its proper name. Baker’s Man said it was called a Gelatin Parfait, but I think of parfaits as more elaborate layered desserts. It wasn’t until a trip to one of our local grocery stores, that I realized that people really call this simple dessert a parfait. Who knew? I guess Baker’s Man did. […]

Layered Gelatin Salad

Layered Gelatin

Layered Gelatin isn’t something that I make very often. To be honest, I prefer more instant gratification when I make my gelatin recipes. I don’t want to have to remember to keep going back to the fridge to check on each layer before proceeding. I decided to make this layered gelatin and post the instructions here because I think that the different layers look great, […]

Fall Harvest Gelatin Salad

Fall Harvest Gelatin Salad

Fall Harvest Gelatin Salad contains the flavors of fall. I know some of you may be questioning the veracity of that statement because there’s no pumpkin spice, or plain pumpkin, included in this recipe, but pumpkin spice isn’t the only flavor of fall. In fact, before pumpkin spice mania took the country by storm, there were cranberries, apples, and pecans. Those flavors, along with celery, […]

Cherry Rum and Coke Jello Shots

Gelled Cherry Rum and Coke Shots

Gelled Cherry Rum and Coke Shots are not something I thought I would make during my gelatin recipe series. We really aren’t big drinkers, but as I asked friends for gelatin recipes, several mentioned “Jello Shots.” After the fourth person suggested that I make “jello shots,” I decided that while it might be possible to try 30 different gelatin recipes without giving “jello shots” a […]

Cinnamon Apple Gelatin

Cinnamon Apple Gelatin

Cinnamon Apple Gelatin is a special treat. The combination of cherry gelatin, applesauce, and cinnamon red hots makes a delectable dessert that’s simple to prepare, and we all know that we like simple here at Patty Cake’s Pantry. What will you need to prepare this recipe? From the Pantry cherry gelatin dessert mix unsweetened applesauce cinnamon “red hots” candies In order to complete my 30 […]

Gelatin Desserts

Gelatin Desserts

It’s that time of year again, when I will be challenging myself to create 30 days of recipes using one ingredient, or technique. The previous two years, I have presented 30 days of beans and 30 days of canned foods, respectively. This year, I have decided that Gelatin Desserts, and gelatin recipes, in general, are under-represented on this website, so I have chosen 30 days […]
