I don’t know how San Francisco artist Liz Hickok constructs her dramatic cityscapes entirely out of jelly without at least nibbling a bite out of one of the imposing facades. Of her San Francisco series, she says: ‘Lit from below, the molded shapes of the city blur into a jewel-like mosaic of luminous color and volume. The gelatinous material also evokes uncanny parallels with the geological uncertainties of San Francisco’s landscape. While the translucent beauty of the compositions first seduces the viewer, their fragility quickly becomes a metaphor for the transitory nature of human artifacts’.

Sam Bompas and Harry Parr, who are really more architectural designers than dessert lovers, are single-handedly changing the way we think of Jell-O. In the U.K., they call it ‘jelly’, so the name of the business started by these gourmet foodies, as fitting as it sounds, is The Jellymongers.

And, they’re doing just that, mongering around the UK throwing parties with their creations. The public can’t seem to get enough. From Buckingham Palace to continental United States, there isn’t a shape that doesn’t look better when chilled with Jell-O. Turntyle News sat down with Sam Bompas of Bompas and Parr to find out just how many shapes they intend to fit on their plate.

From cityscapes to architectural installations, Jello is in the thick of a culinary comeback. And now, you can have your Jello and drink it too. Sort of. Introducing Jelloware: a new line of disposal cups made of a seaweed extract called agar agar.

The creation of design agency The Way We See The World, Jelloware ‘re-imagines the concept of drinking’ by imparting new tastes, smells, and textures to your typical glass. Each agar agar-made cup represents a different flavor from lemon-basil to rosemary-beet. There’s even Absolut Jelloware where different edible cups are flavored to match a corresponding vodka drink; think a dirty martini in a garlic olive cup, or a Bloody Mary poured into a pepper celery glass. Take a bite then a sip, and repeat as necessary.

Once you’ve downed your wobbly drink, simply toss the Jelloware cup onto the grass where it’s said to help nurture plants to grow – a solid alternative to plastic cups indeed. Bill Cosby would be proud.
