Other Party Ideas…..  

Simple Rainbow Cake

Decorate ½ a round ring cake with jelly beans to look like a rainbow.  Stand up on a plate and add long thread coconut mixed with green food colouring around the base to look like grass.  Noah’s ark animals can be placed around the cake to create a theme suitable for boy’s or girl’s cake.  Another idea is to decorate with Fairies for a girl’s fairy party.

This cake is handy if you are catering for both a family & a friends party & need two smaller cakes.  The round ring tin fits a standard cake mix and then can be cut in two to form two rainbows.

Jelly Slice

Use a packet of Jelly crystals and mix in 2 tablespoons of Gelatine before adding the boiling water.  Add boiling water & set in a slice container in the fridge.

Another variation is to prepare two different colours of jelly and pour the 2^nd colour on top on the first after it has set.  Makes attractive two tone jelly slice.

Cut into small slices when set.
