So, the first one seemed like a jazzed up, but still fairly standard version. It involved some kind of milk product (possibly condensed), which is what turned it white.
Since I LOVE condensed milk, I went for it.
The flavor was very mild and subtle and the texture was no different than normal jello. It was tasty and I liked it.
The other jello mold was the fanciest floral masterpiece I think I'll probably ever see created out of gelatin.
I was sure there was an artificial flower set into the middle. But when I saw someone easily slice all the way through the middle of it, I couldn't believe my eyes.

The entire piece was jello.
I have no idea how this voodoo magic was created, but I was impressed to say the least.
Do you know how to make these? If so, please share!
Boner'ppetite!

Of course you got me curious, so I googled it and ended up watching videos of people making these things. They use a syringe and inject the colored jello petals into a solid clear jello mold that's already been made. Who thought of this?
Here's one such video:

Yay, my shower made your blog! I never had either one before but I did find out the one with the flowers had brandy in it! Who sends a dessert full of liquor to a baby shower!?! Oh my mother-in-law does!
This is amazing, though I'm sure if I attempted it, my molds would end up looking like colorful poo.
Also, brandy in jello sounds like the best idea ever.
now i just want to each a bunch of pretty jello.
The first one reminds me of Haribo gummies that I'm addicted to. I have to try and make one of those!
I live in Utah, the capitol of all things Jello, and I have NEVER seen anything that impressive. Really, I am in awe. I wonder how it tasted...
MANDY - Someone at the party mentioned a syringe being involved in the making of it, but I thought there HAD to be a better way to do this. I think you've just proved me wrong.
CHRISTINA - What?!? There was brandy in it?? Was it cooked off or totally 100%??
LORRAINE - Yes, mine too. In fact, I I'm pretty sure I don't have the patience to even try this. So I'll leave the syringe work to the pros.
SIMONE - I know, isn't it cool? I actually didn't try any of the flower one because it was too fancy to eat.
SARA - You're the not the first person I've heard of who's addicted to Haribo gummies. Unfortunately, I've never been into the gummies. That addiction is not something I'm familiar with.
LIBBY - Ha! Are jello molds big in Utah?? I had no idea.
One must travel back to the '70s to make Jello. Is that where you were?
