Kirk’s tips:
I’ve learned so much in making these. Wait for 48 hours until they completely dry.
I doubled the recipe and added an extra packet of the gelatin to fill my bundt pan.
I originally tried to hang one with rope. Not good. The rope broke the wreath! Fabric ribbon works perfectly.
I attached a metal ring so I could hang it.
