When I was first asked last month if I would be interested in participating in a JELLO shot contest it sounded like a superb idea. In college, I was the queen of conjuring up different JELLO shots. I brought them to parties, float trips and almost any sporting event I went to... it was an easy way to make taking shots a little fun and festive. Looking back, I think it was my JELLO shot experiences in college that led me to saying, "I'm in" for the 3rd annual JELLO shot contest. So, now the time has come.... It's JELLO time!!! An invite was sent out letting all the contestants know the guidelines along with some pictures from the previous contests.
The Invite Read: The time is here for the 3rd annual JELLO shot competition. Each contestant will prepare 2 types of shots. Shots are judged by taste, creativity, and presentation. The winners of each category will move on to a championship round with the date to be picked by the winners.
So after reading the invite and looking at the pictures... I guess I'm not as good at making JELLO shots as I once thought. I didn't realize the intensity of the contest until now. Truth be told, I'm a little nervous. I've always made basic JELLO shots. By basic, I mean solid color. You know, the kind you make just like JELLO but add alcohol to them. Evidently, nothing spectacular.
The good news is that I have my uncle on my team who is super creative and very competitive. The other good news is that the contest is August 7, 2010 so we have some time to work on our shots. Tonight and the weekends to come we will be working diligently creating JELLO masterpieces so that we are prepared for the contest. Wish us luck and stay tuned for updates!!
On a side note, does anyone know how to make really awesome JELLO shots? :)
