No, fishies not edible, but take-homeable!

Yes, we made it. beest baked the cake, i made the jello along the engineering principles we developed after a cool-but-not-so-spectacular prototype on Weds.

That is indeed awesome.

Monster, your skills at doing creative and clever things like this and making costumes are really amazing.
Although, I bet the other mums are all jealous now.

Should I give away trade secrets? hehe

We did the jello in layers, in each layer I cut slits and partially inserted the fish upside down before pouring the next layer.

Thanks for all your lovely comments, as you can tell, we're pretty proud of this one
