How to Make Layer Jello Recipes

Layer jello recipes are one of the more popular desserts you will find, especially during the holidays. These recipes are nice, because they do offer a series of delicious flavor combinations that will have your taste buds popping with the different flavor combinations. Of course, if you have never made them before, you might not be sure how to make them. This process is a bit more complicated than throwing a number of different hot mixtures in the same pan. We will look at some tips that even the more advanced professional might find helpful.

To begin with, you might not be sure how to create the layered effect. This is easily done with the use of the fridge and some extra time. Begin by creating your first flavor that will be going into your layer jello recipes and use half a cup of hot water. Then mix it well, follow it with a half a cup of chilled water. This will help your jello to start becoming solid faster. Place it in the bottom of a slightly greased pan. Then allow it to chill for an hour or until firm.

The grease will help to prevent the jello from forming to imperfections in the pan. It will also help to block the flavor of the metallic pans that people often use. Of course, you will want to choose an unflavored grease if you are going to go this route. Otherwise, you just exchange out some of the different flavors in this case.

When you are ready to place your next layer down, be sure you do not pour it over the cool jello at a temperature above warm. If you do, the lower layer of jello will begin to blend with the mixture that you just placed over it and it might not set the way you would like it to.

While you are creating your layer jello recipes, you might also consider making some fun adjustments. One of the most common is using chilled lemon lime soda in place of the chilled water. This adds a spark to the mix and can give your guests one of the most unique flavor variations that will certainly have them talking for some time to come.

Remember that the overall goal in this recipe is to create a decent number of layers. Many people will go for 7 -9 and create a full rainbow that will dazzle the eyes as well as the palate. Be sure you get creative and do not be afraid to experiment. With this delicious dish, there really is no wrong flavor combination and instead, you might find that your own creation is better than any you have tried before in the past.

Cake Boss shares family recipes, stories, in book and on tour

The Cake Boss is expanding from the bakery to the bookstore: On Tuesday, Nov. 2, Buddy Valastro, star of the TLC reality series "Cake Boss" and proprietor of Carlo's Bake Shop in Hoboken, releases his debut book: "Cake Boss: Stories and Recipes From Mia Famiglia."

As its title suggests, the book contains tales from the Valastro family's history as well as some of the author's signature recipes. However, according to Valastro, it doesn't contain as many recipes as he'd originally planned.

"The book was supposed to (contain) a lot more recipes, but Free Press (the publisher) said, "We love the story; do a little less recipes,' " Valastro said. "It's probably, like, three quarters of my story, or maybe even 80 percent my story (and) 20 percent recipes."

Valastro said his story and his recipes are connected.

"It's funny, because the recipes tie into the story," he continued. "When I did a recipe, I remember I learned it from my dad, and some of them I'm so proud of. It's really the American dream. My dad started it ? coming from Italy, working hard ? and I just took it to a whole other level, you know?"

With his recipes for classic dishes such as lobster tails, cannolis and tiramisu on the pages for readers to discover, is Valastro nervous about making his methods public?

"I've always been an old-school baker in the sense (that) I'm about sharing," he said. "(On my) TV show, I show my techniques and different things and a lot of people are superstitious about that, but look: Nine out of 10 people who are going to take that recipe are going to make it at home with their kids. They're not going to put me out of business." Among the stories from Valastro's book are tales of growing up spending summers in Sandy Hook with his family. Valastro, of East Hanover, said he still enjoys spending time down the Shore and is full of Jersey pride.

"I grew up in North Jersey. We always had a condo in the Highlands and now I have one in Long Branch, so I'm very familiar with the whole Shore area," said Valastro, a Hoboken native who grew up in Little Ferry. "Asbury Park reminds me a lot of Hoboken, because Asbury Park had that bad rap for so many years, and now it's beautiful. It just made such a dynamic change and it was the same thing with Hoboken, so I'm real proud of Hoboken and of being from New Jersey."

Valastro is hitting the road this fall for hise Bakin' with the Boss Tour, which will be wrapping up on Nov. 23 at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark.

"The whole show's set to music; it's a fun, clean, family show," Valastro said. "I interact with the audience where I call people up to help me cake-decorate and they actually complete against each other. I let them make cupcakes and the crowd votes for the winner and the winner gets a prize. I also tell my story and stuff like that."

Valastro said his favorite part of the show comes at the end. "(That's when) I get to meet with all the different fans and hear their stories about how "Cake Boss' has impacted their life," he said. "Like the girl who now wants to be a pastry chef because of 'The Cake Boss,' or the lady who was in a chemo treatment and "Cake Boss' made her laugh, or the sisters who haven't talked for years, but seeing my show sparked a nerve and they said, "You know what? We're family, we've got to move on, we've got to go past this.' So you know, after the show, meeting with the people and hearing those stories is the best part."

Valastro made his live debut in January at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, and his work returned to the historic venue this summer: He crafted a cake in the likeness of Monmouth County filmmaker Kevin Smith for the director's 40th birthday celebration at the theater.

Discussing Smith's cake, Valastro said, "It was really, really important . . . We take pride in all of those cakes that we do, so it was just one of those cakes, you know?"
