In Solid Wiggles, Jena Derman and Jack Schramm of Solid Wiggles in Brooklyn, New York, teach you how to create more than 45 of your own bite-size, delectable, and eye-catching jelly shots and cakes for all occasions. Unlike the saccharine shots of our youth, Derman and Schramm’s elevated cocktail jellies are flavored with high-quality spirits and freshly squeezed juices, then handcrafted into works of edible art. And the best part? You can achieve it all in your own kitchen.

These show stopping, conversation-starting, masterpieces will blow you and your guests away. Directions for every step of the process are clear and concise. They’ll have you sourcing the correct tools, blooming gelatin, scaling to the right size for your party, and even managing advanced decoration techniques like a true jelly professional.

The book is divided into two sections: Party ANIMAL, for beginners, offers a range of recipes that are simple enough to be assembled in under three hours (including chilling time); and Party PRO, for those who want more complex treats, includes layered recipes with whimsical—and achievable—design patterns that range from a dusting of glitter to stunning pop art-style flowers.
