- I made an Ice Bucket Cake for my husband’s birthday so I had to make some fake ice cubes. It’s pretty easy to make them and you only need two ingredients: gelatine & and Sprite or any clear soda.
Ingredients
- 1/2 can (180 ml) of Sprite or any clear soda
- 10 g gelatine powder + 100 ml (0.4 cup) water
- a food storage container or a pan - I used a 12.5 cm x 12.5 cm (5’’ x 5’’) container
Omg best ever. I got it on my 1st try. I'll recommend it
That’s awesome! I’m glad you like it and thanks for recommending it.
Thank you for the video! Could I make use dr.Pepper in place of sprite? I’m make them for a fondant soda cup that is going to have dr.pepper inside.
You’re very welcome! Any liquid should work.
The best method so far
Thanks! I’m glad you found it useful.
Thank you for this easy method
You’re very welcome!
How long does it take for them to become solid? And is there a need for refrigeration?
Four hours should be enough for the gelatine to set. Yes, it should be refrigerated after. You can keep it at room temperature for 2 hours for example, just before serving your cake. However, not in direct sunlight or very hot temperatures. Gelatine has a melting point typically around 95°F (35°C). So if it’s this hot they will start softening and eventually melt.
Please what if i don't have a refrigerator
Can this be used for food photography like iced cold drinks ?
You could but you have to handle them very gently as they might break when you want to place them in a glass. You could increase the amount of gelatin to make them stiffer / stronger. And yes to cold drinks only. Warm drinks will just melt the gelatin in the “ice cubes”.
What gelatine did you use ?
I mostly use this one - www.walmart.ca/en/ip/Knox-Gelatine/6000188760688
Hey ! I tried to use the fake ice cubes to decorate a cake but when the cubes touched the sugar paste (the edge of the cake )the sugar paste started to melt😔 . What could I do to fix this ?
Sorry that happened to you. This could happen if the cake is kept at room temperature for a long time and it’s warmer in the room / outside; the fact that condensation forms on the gum paste/fondant when taken out of the fridge doesn’t help either. I’m not sure if this had anything to do with what happened to your cake. You could try the following:
- place the cubes on the cake just before serving it
- increase the amount of gelatin to make the ice cubes firmer and less prone to softening and releasing moisture
- add a barrier between the fondant / sugar paste and the ice cubes, like using a thin layer of chocolate ganache on the top of the cake and making sure the cubes don’t touch the edges of the cake
- use them on ganache-covered cakes
I hope this helps!
Do they melt in regular temperatures when outside?
No, they shouldn’t if you’re not keeping them in direct sunlight or very hot temperatures. They are made with gelatine. Gelatine has a melting point typically around 95°F (35°C). So if it’s this hot they will start softening and eventually melt.
@@Roxys_Kitchen thank you 😊
Is the water warm or hot? Thank you
@@cakethemesandpinoyrecipe8328 when you soak the gelatin in water, you just use tap water or room temperature water.
Heyyy. Approx how much time do they take to set ?
Please do they melt in room temperature? If yes, please how long does it last?
No, they don’t melt at room temperature. They are made with gelatine. Gelatine has a melting point typically around 95°F (35°C). So if it’s this hot they will start softening and eventually melt.
