TYPOGATEUX

I have been thinking of ideas for my Typogateaux entry, I decided from the start that i didn't want to do a cake, as i thought everyone would do this and wanted to try something different.
I looked at some recipes online to see what sort of dessert/cake i could make.

General research into desserts

From looking at desserts on the bbc website i decided that i wanted to do something with jelly/gelatine. I thought that this would look really good and its something different to do. I couldn't find any sort of recipe on the bbc website for this, so i searched in google.

Here are some images of jelly desserts.

I really like the idea of the ones either layered up or colours within each other.

After looking further i found out that the one with colours inside each other was called Stain Glass Jello and it is really easy to make. So this is what i am going to go with. 

Now just the design!

Design Ideas

1. Cake in the shape of a semi-colon - ';'

The semi colon will be split into two different cakes

- top circle will be vanilla sponge cake

- bottom part will be chocolate cake

- cover both parts with icing.

2. & made out of jelly.

Using the idea shown above as what i researched into.

- stain glass jello effect

- cut shape of '&' glyph into the jelly

- maybe some text aswell?

     - LCA BAGD

     - TYPE

     - GRAPHICS                      ideas for text could be

     - GLYPH

     - JELLO

     - TYPOGATEUX 

3. Vanilla sponge cake that spells out TYPOGATEUX.

- each letter cut out of sponge cake

- cover each letter with icing

- add food colourings to icing and link to pantone colour

I am going to go with idea 2 as i like the aesthetics of the stain glass jello and think it is something different that others might not think of. I am unsure weather to have text as well as the '&' glyph. I might wait and see how much jelly is produced first.
