[@sammymoynihan6293]

Have you tried filling the balloons with water first? It's easier to remove the balloons as you can just slowly drain the water out and the ballon becomes smaller so you can just pull it out. Also, you can use a bit of water to get rid off the frosting inside the globe so they are clearer and you can see the objects inside. Slowly rotate a small amount of water inside the balloon and then just make sure to drain all the water out.

[@BrittneeKay]

Cool! Yeah if the water helps things not stick as much that is great!

Wow

[@BrittneeKay]

[@kellypurdie3588]

Hi, did you put anything on the balloons before the gelatin to prevent the balloon from sticking? Thanks

[@BrittneeKay]

Nope! Once the gelatin hardens it peels off fairly easy. If you put something on the balloon first I imagine the gelatin won't stick enough to even create a thin coating. :)

[@omarplayzzz4572]

Wow! Fabulous video! Just a quick question though. How much gelatin would that be for a cup of water in grams?

[@BrittneeKay]

Thank you! If my conversion is correct, 2 oz of gelatin is about 56.7 g to 1 cup of water. :)

[@cocowills8534]

Can you add sugar to the gelatin when warming it up?

[@BrittneeKay]

I haven't tried but you may try that! I don't plan to eat them so I don't feel like I have a need for it!

[@mflorianr]

Looks great!!, have you tried with caramel? I saw on TV show how made edible bubbles with caramel, looks faster, but I think managing caramel could be more difficult. Whatever, I enjoyed this video, thanks!!

[@BrittneeKay]

Thanks! I have seen that as well and want to try using sugar or isomalt to make bubbles! Just haven't gotten around to attempting yet :D

[@sexymom101]

I see pictures of cakes with them like that but I cannot find a tutorial on how to do it anywhere I’m guessing maybe just fill the whole with chocolate melts do you think that would work?

[@BrittneeKay]

It could be blown sugar 🤔

[@sexymom101]

Do you have any advice on attaching the bubbles to a stick to make them look like a balloon on a stick or like a helium balloon?

[@BrittneeKay]

Hmm no I am not sure on that! Because the hole has to be big enough to pull the balloon out!

[@abosier]

Could you put pam or other non-flavored cooking oii on the balloons so they don't stick to said ballons?

[@BrittneeKay]

I don't think so because then the liquid gelatin wouldn't stick in the first place to create the coating. Just a guess but you can always try it! :)

[@rochellehammond3419]

Could you add flavouring right at the start to the 1 cup of water? How do you store your leftovers once all the balloons are coated?

[@BrittneeKay]

You probably could but I’m not sure even with flavoring you’d want to eat them but you can try it! I just store them covered at room temp in a dry space.

[@florido5491]

@@BrittneeKay after putting on a cake, and storing it in the fridge will it get affected? Or melt?

[@BrittneeKay]

@@florido5491 I wouldn't place the domes on cupcakes or anything too far in advance. I haven't tried but my guess is that moisture from the frosting will start to cause the part touching to get a bit soft. I also wouldn't store them in the fridge because there could be moisture in there that could also affect the domes. Just store them at room temp and keep them dry until use! Hope this helps! :)

[@shannenmanlangit7004]

how long do the globes last and can they be stored in the fridge?

[@BrittneeKay]

As far as I know, without being exposed to moisture, they should last forever in theory! They can be stored in the fridge, but just be careful there isn't moisture or they will soften. They don't need to be stored in the fridge though, room temp is fine!

[@barry4967]

Do you dip balloons in chocolate too (like for the questioner’s hot air balloon)?

[@BrittneeKay]

Yes you can totally dip the balloons in chocolate instead of gelatin! Make sure it is tempered and you can just pop the balloons in the fridge to set up quick and then pop the balloon and peel off just the same :)

[@eugenialo8672]

Guantes

[@emanelgendy2058]

Great job. Can you please measure the amounts of gelatin, how many grams per cup of water?

[@BrittneeKay]

Thank you! Sorry I am not in a place right now to pull up the recipe and convert it, just do a little Google conversion and you should be good ☺️

[@elizabethlindor9512]

Is there a video on how to make modeling chocolate or is it something you have to buy?

[@elizabethlindor9512]

Literally as I ask, you answered in the video 😂😂

[@BrittneeKay]

hehe yes!

[@ldraper5416]

I tried several times letting the temp of the sugar drop with each attempt. it kept melting through the plastic wrap. The one time it did not, it was too cool to move around.

[@BrittneeKay]

I'm not sure exactly what you mean?

[@stars-are-us]

these are not sugar domes. But for those get heat resistant food grade film.

[@redlillium1]

Any tips on how to do this without balloon?

[@BrittneeKay]

Nope! :/

[@brebrown5338]

If u cover the balloon with oil first it won’t stick so much.

[@BrittneeKay]

The problem is you need it to stick or else it won’t create a coat!

If I make them for cupcakes would the gelatin melt? Do I need to refrigerate?

[@BrittneeKay]

No they won’t melt! Don’t refrigerate them, keep them in a dry place and I would put them on the cupcakes same day as you plan to serve them or they can get a bit soft from the moisture in the frosting

How bout putting the gelatin inside the balloons will that work

[@BrittneeKay]

You can always try it! But honestly I think it will be a bit harder than dipping. :)

[@kathleendemoya6089]

How long do they last?

[@BrittneeKay]

I can't say for sure but...a really long time! As long as they are kept away from moisture you can store them for months!

🥰

[@1920brooks]

can you use real jello w flavor for the dome?

[@BrittneeKay]

It won't set up right I don't think because Jello also will have sugar and maybe other ingredients in it. These set up hard because they're pure gelatin. You could add some extract to the water though and see if that adds a bit of flavor. For me these are just for decoration, I wouldn't really want to eat the globe part. :)

[@pratibhaparjiea8373]

Instead of gelatine can you use agar agar

[@BrittneeKay]

You can!

Can we use agar agar or gulaman instead?

[@BrittneeKay]

Google says 2 oz equals about 56.7 g

[@kataych1137]

Where did you find such ROUND balloons??

[@BrittneeKay]

Anywhere really! I think I linked some from Amazon. The key is to get the small water balloons. Then after you blow them up, tie them really tight without extra space, and pinch them to move the air to that annoying tip that has the nipple. I always reshape them a bit like that to make sure they’re round before dipping!

[@kataych1137]

@@BrittneeKay ok, thx for the tipd! I have small water balloons but they don't look round like this - will try your tips. Thx!

[@BrittneeKay]

@@kataych1137 No problem! Yes, try giving them a little massage after they're blown up and reshaping them!

[@VesperTheBat]

I'd try putting a little bit oil on ballons, so they peel off better Ofc if it don't prevent gelatone from coating xd

[@BrittneeKay]

I think the oil will just mix with the gelatin and maybe mess with the texture! Peeling off really isn’t too hard, just takes patience

[@VesperTheBat]

@@BrittneeKay That's what I'm talking about Whole process is time-consuming :/

[@kimchisgood2993]

Instead use the gelatine , would be better create a sugar sphere with Isomalt … more easy and much better

[@BrittneeKay]

Yes for sure the sugar spheres taste better and can look better, but these are easier to make for beginners. There are multiple great techniques you can use depending on what you're looking for! Always good to have options :)

[@hajarlahrari1572]

I think you had to grease the balloons

[@BrittneeKay]

If you grease the balloons then the gelatin won't stick when dipping :)

[@Praecantetia]

I don't think balloons are food safe

[@kristenpiper5141]

Well you don't eat the balloons

[@mareshahpeterson9940]

They aren't. I really want to try this technique but it's already been banned in Denmark because they did a spot check after a video went viral with this idea and found like 95% of latex balloons had illegal chemicals on the outside from the manufacturing process, and both heat and food exposure created further risks of contamination. A food safe latex glove might be an option though.
