Well, when I was 10-12 years old. I used to always make rainbow jello creations in my mom's complicated bundt pans. I think they were non-stick pans, but I don't think I ever used non-stick spray (pretty sure that didn't exist back then) and it always came out perfectly. It *does* take a long time for each layer to set....longer than I planned. </p> <p>I also didn't do the white layers--just jello on top of jello. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jello-cake-tips#post-1941222 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 13:43:08 +0000 blackbird 1941222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: OH! I"ve done this before!!!! Just not rainbow, i made it in St Pats colors. It slid out super easy when I made it (i even used a complicated mold, a little Pam helped) and the only issue with it is that it is insanely time consuming to wait for each freaking layer to get solid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jello-cake-tips#post-1941212 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 13:39:24 +0000 aegie 1941212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You don't need spray. You do need to let it come to room temperature first. That makes it softer to handle. And you have to resign yourself to losing the outer edges. But you can cut nice neat squares AFTER you've cut out the edges that touch the side of the baking pan. I'm not sure if I'm making any sense, but it's like a cake, you need to mess up the first slice to get the other slices nice and pretty. Same premise here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jello-cake-tips#post-1941136 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 13:11:45 +0000 keiki_mama 1941136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For what it's worth the jello doesn't feel particularly oily after we cut it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jello-cake-tips#post-1941131 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 13:10:56 +0000 keiki_mama 1941131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Cooking spray, cooking spray, cooking spray! I love layered jello and usually make it in a 9x10 glass dish. I always spray it down with cooking spray and I've never had trouble getting it out. Good luck to you! Here is a set of great instructions: <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2012/12/christmas-finger-jello/" rel="nofollow">http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2012/12/christmas-finger-jello/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jello-cake-tips#post-1941098 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 12:58:58 +0000 T-Mom 1941098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom used to make this all the time for us. I don't think she ever sprayed it with cooking spray and it always looked great. If you are careful when you take it out (maybe use a small metal spatula), I think it would be ok (after the sacrificial first piece). She would always do almond flavored for the white layers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jello-cake-tips#post-1941094 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 12:57:44 +0000 NeekieRose 1941094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My concern with parchment paper or plastic wrap is that you will likely get lines from the paper or wrap not being perfectly flat. May not be a big deal. You will likely be fine with a glass dish, but I'd use cooking spray before wrap or paper if you want to be extra safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jello-cake-tips#post-1941065 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 12:45:42 +0000 looch 1941065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>huh, that looks totally cool. I've never seen anything like that before.</p> <p>I think you'd be fine in a glass dish, but maybe for extra insurance, use a cooking spray? Do you have a silicone mold by any chance? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jello-cake-tips#post-1941051 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 12:40:30 +0000 regberadaisy 1941051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: this is basically what I'm trying to do. <a href="http://musthavemom.com/2013/04/rainbow-jello-recipe-instructions.html" rel="nofollow">http://musthavemom.com/2013/04/rainbow-jello-recipe-instructions.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jello-cake-tips#post-1941039 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 12:36:13 +0000 blackbird 1941039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is this jello cake like poke cake? I've made cake...then poked holes in...and poured warm jello+water mix on top. It wasn't sticky </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jello-cake-tips#post-1941032 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 12:31:56 +0000 mrs. bird 1941032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any experience with cakes, but we did molds once and the mold (made by jello) said to spray with non stick spray, we thought this sounded gross and thought we could just let it sit in hot water to loosen the jello before popping them out of the molds. Nope. That stuff wouldn't budge! It was trashed. So jello suggests spraying the container for easy removal, but I'd imagine putting plastic in the dish before the jello might work, then you could lift it out &amp; hopefully the plastic wrap could be peeled off. Or maybe wax paper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jello-cake-tips#post-1941009 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 12:21:11 +0000 regberadaisy 1941009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone made a rainbow jello cake before? </p> <p>My niece and nephews are addicted to jello so I thought I would make jello cake in Thanksgiving colors (orange, yellow and vanilla pudding). Got the idea from a HB er. </p> <p>The recipe I found used a glass baking dish but I'm afraid it will stick to the pan. Maybe I should line the bottom with parchment paper? </p> <p>Any tips? I have to travel with it so I'll probably leave it in the pan then cut day of. </p>
