Solid Wiggles, the brand reimagining gelatin desserts for a new generation of adults, created something fun for serving at grown-up gatherings this holiday season: the Holiday Cosmo Cocktail Jelly Cake.
Gelatin-based cakes of decades past got a bad rap largely because many recipes incorporated odd, unappetizing fillings that made them easy targets for ridicule. Solid Wiggles’ Holiday Cosmo Cocktail Jelly Cake preserves nostalgic, wobbly charm while eliminating the outdated, off-putting elements that once made gelatin cakes so polarizing.
Available on Goldbelly, the Holiday Cosmo Cocktail Jelly Cake is full of novelty—and boasts 5% ABV—from Ketel One Vodka and Faccia Brutto Carciofo, plus orange, lemon, and cranberry. The 6” jelly cake is festively decorated, ready to slice and serves eight to 10.
