Lickable wallpaper round 2!


 Experiment with lemon jelly! 
I decided to take another route and explore different ways of doing lickable wallpaper, because of the gelatine disaster... So I thought of jelly! it's sweet, cheap... and I think everyone likes it! but to give it more colour I bought yellow food colouring and to give it a little tangy kick I added a bit of freshly squeezed lemon!
 It didn't go as planned, because although it sets well, it needs to be refrigerated for a while, and it's not lickable! For instance when you lick it, no flavour comes off and it has a funny texture. 
 Another experiment with lemon lickable wallpaper! With this one I used freshly squeezed lemon, glucose syrup and a small amount of yellow food colouring. It initially seemed like it wasn't going to work because it is so funny when you first mix it! But when you paste the liquid onto a surface it sets rather quickly, and is very lickable! I think I have a winner of a technique right here!!!
