If you thought jelly was only for kids' snacks or layered desserts, think again! Jelly has officially made its way into the world of cake decoration—and it’s more than just a trend. With its vibrant colors, glossy finish, and customizable shapes, jelly can add a show-stopping flair to your homemade or store-bought cakes. The best part? It’s easier than you think to do it yourself, especially with BAKERS Jelly Crystals—available at the trusted Pluugin Store.

Whether you're planning a birthday surprise, a baby shower treat, or just want to impress guests at a casual gathering, this step-by-step guide will help you master the art of using jelly as a cake topping like a pro.

Why Use Jelly as a Cake Topping?

Jelly offers several unique benefits that traditional frostings and decorations might lack:

• Visual Appeal: It gives your cake a glossy, glass-like finish that reflects light beautifully.
  

• Flavor Variety: Jelly can be made in different flavors to complement or contrast the cake.
  

• Custom Shapes: You can mold jelly into hearts, stars, fruit slices, or even flower petals.
  

• Texture Contrast: It introduces a fun, wobbly texture that pairs perfectly with soft cake and creamy frosting.
  

And when you use BAKERS Jelly Crystals, you're guaranteed consistent texture, rich flavor, and vibrant color—everything you need for an Instagram-worthy cake.

What You’ll Need:

• 1 packet of BAKERS Jelly Crystals (available at Pluugin Store)
  

• A cooled cake (any flavor works!)
  

• Shallow pan or jelly mold
  

• Water
  

• Small saucepan
  

• Spoon or spatula
  

• Optional: whipped cream, fresh fruits, edible flowers, piping bag
  

Step-by-Step Jelly Cake Topping Guide:

Step 1: Choose Your Jelly Flavor

Start by selecting your jelly flavor. BAKERS Jelly Crystals come in delicious options like strawberry, raspberry, mango, and orange—each bursting with fruity freshness.

You can find all variants at the Pluugin Store, both in physical locations and online for quick delivery.

Step 2: Prepare the Jelly

Follow the packet instructions. Typically:

1. Boil 250 ml of water.
   

2. Add the entire contents of one BAKERS Jelly Crystals pack.
   

3. Stir until the crystals are completely dissolved.
   

4. Add another 250 ml of cold water.
   

5. Let the jelly mixture cool slightly, but don’t let it set completely.
   

Pro Tip: To create a multi-layered effect, prepare different jelly flavors in stages, allowing one to set slightly before pouring the next.

Step 3: Set Your Jelly (Optional)

For molded designs or decorative cutouts:

• Pour the jelly into a shallow tray or silicone mold.
  

• Let it cool and set in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours.
  

• Once set, cut it into desired shapes using cookie cutters or a sharp knife.
  

You can also use small jelly molds to create domes or 3D shapes to place atop the cake.

Step 4: Apply a Base Layer (Optional)

Before adding the jelly, apply a thin layer of whipped cream or buttercream on your cake. This helps the jelly sit better and adds flavor and texture balance.

Step 5: Pour or Place the Jelly

There are two approaches here:

• Pour Method: If you want a glossy, smooth jelly top, gently pour the slightly cooled liquid jelly over the cake. Use a spoon or spatula to guide the flow and avoid spillage.
  

• Placement Method: If you've molded the jelly, gently lift the shapes and place them on the cake. Arrange them in patterns, stack them, or scatter them randomly for a playful look.
  

Note: Always chill the cake after jelly application so it holds its shape and texture.

Creative Jelly Cake Design Ideas

Here are some fun ideas to experiment with:

• Jelly Fruit Topper: Make a transparent jelly with fruit slices suspended inside. Once set, cut it and place it on top.
  

• Rainbow Layers: Use multiple jelly layers in different colors for a bold and colorful finish.
  

• Jelly Drip: Pour warm jelly from the edges of the cake for a beautiful “dripping” effect.
  

• Minimalist Look: A single large jelly flower in the center creates a simple yet elegant design.
  

Final Touches

Add a few finishing touches like whipped cream rosettes, fresh berries, mint leaves, or edible glitter to enhance the look. The possibilities are endless!

Remember, the key is to let your creativity flow—and BAKERS Jelly Crystals from Pluugin Store make it incredibly easy to bring your ideas to life.
