Notes
This is a very fast recipe that will leave everyone happy at the table. Children and adults love it! So we totally recommend it, specially for summer as it is a cooled dessert.
One of the best things about this recipe is how much you can customize it. You can use whatever gelatin flavor you want! You can even use different colors and make a rainbow!
It is best to use white sponge, as it will show off the colors more, but you can use yellow sponge if that is what you prefer.
Another amazing touch would be to add sprinkles on top of the frosting if it is for a birthday party. Adding fruit that corresponds to the gelatin flavor would also be amazing!
