Solid Wiggles: Recipes and Techniques for Phenomenal Jelly Shots and Cakes

Learn how to make over 45 mouthwatering boozy and alcohol-free jelly shots and cakes, from the cofounders of Solid Wiggles.

In Solid Wiggles , Jena Derman and Jack Schramm of Solid Wiggles teach you how to create more than 45 of your own delectable and eye-catching jelly shots and cakes for all occasions. Unlike the saccharine shots of our youth, Derman and Schramm’s elevated cocktail jellies are flavored with high-quality spirits and freshly squeezed juices, then handcrafted into works of edible art. And the best part? You can achieve it all in your own kitchen.

These showstopping, conversation-starting masterpieces will blow you and your guests away. Directions for every step of the process are clear and concise. They’ll have you sourcing the correct tools, blooming gelatin, scaling to the right size for your party, and even managing advanced decoration techniques like a true jelly professional.

The book is divided into two sections: Party ANIMAL, for beginners, offers a range of recipes that are simple enough to be assembled in under three hours (including chilling time); and Party PRO, for those who want more complex treats, includes layered recipes with whimsical—and achievable—design patterns that range from a dusting of glitter to stunning pop art–style flowers. No matter which route you choose, your Solid Wiggles jellies (and you!) will be the star of the show.
