Colour burst

Master Prince asked me to make jelly for him, preferably with the colours green, purple, blue, etc. As I was browsing at Lily's blog which I frequent. Btw, she is a great cook and inspiration, especially for those living overseas but missing local, home comfort and childhood delicacies.

Erm, if someone can tell me how to insert a link, I'll be most grateful as I've forgotten how!! :(
Updated - Thanks Agnes for your help!! *hugs*

Anyway, when I saw the rainbow jelly, I told myself why not give it a try....WITHOUT fully realising how tedious the task may/could be. The waiting time between each layer can be a killer, depending how many layers you want.

Fortunately, it turned out OK....if you look from far away!! Can't see all the flaws and impatience. Ha ha.

Look like Life Saver? Its a confectionary.

Everyone who tasted it said it was nice - maybe they were polite??? But then again, this is usually a favourite with both young and old!

Funny thing is that when I showed Master Prince the jelly, he was very excited and promptly declared that he only wanted the red coloured layer!! Sigh....can't please them all! Afterall why have only one colour when you can have them all in one slice?

Side comments #1 - Would have been much faster using konyakku jelly mix compared to agar-agar. Difference would be the texture with the latter having more bite'. I flavoured mine Lychee because I didn't want to wander in the garden in the dark to pluck the pandan leaves!!

Side comments #2 - Cool container in a ice cold water to hasten the 'hardening' of each layer. Spoon the next layer mixture in starting with the corners as they cool the fastest and also less likely to produce bubbles as compared to pouring the mixture in!
