My 3rd attempt at Jellyhearts

On sunday I tried my hands at jellyhearts again. Everything came out PERFECT! No floaties. The 2nd attempt went quite bad, there were many floaties, more than the first time. Lucky I have enough nice looking ones to give to my cousin, Rachel... as I have made them specially for her. Elaine... don't get jealous here now.. hahahah. I will also make some for you when you are back.

After this 3rd try, I finally realised that making jellyhearts need loads of patience. You definitely cannot make them in a rush. After pouring the cheese and placing in the strawberries, I locked up the fridge doors to prevent my kids from opening them. As you know, kids have the habit of opening fridge doors just for the fun of it. With the doors closed for at least 2 hours, the cheese was able to harden up properly and therefore holding down the strawberries firmly. So when I pour in the jelly, the strawberries will not float up.

I have also managed to find square paper cups for the jellyhearts. Next will be to find either 1" or smaller heart-shaped cutter, to make smaller jellyhearts.
