The bloggers behind the website wanted to make the cute creation because they "have a special place in their hearts for cute jello shots" and love sweet-tasting spirits. Not only do these Jello shots taste like a birthday cake, but they look like a miniature one too. To make the little jelly cakes, all you need is a cup of [cake-flavored vodka](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-cake-whipshots), a cup of White Chocolate Godiva liqueur, a cup of milk, three packets of unflavored gelatin and [optional sprinkles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funfetti-celebrations-cake-mix) and whipped cream for added aesthetic. Once you have all your ingredients, simply warm the milk and gelatin together in a saucepan, mix it with the rest of the liquids, pour the mixture into [silicone molds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelee) and place them into the fridge for a few hours.
