I made this for Easter for the kids. It was the worst tasting dessert I have ever made. The kids took 1 bite and threw it away. Looked great in the beginning but colors ran and flavors all mixed together

This was a very expensive waste of time. I wish I had read the recipe ratings and comments before attempting this. I made it the night before for a church potluck. The jelly beans all lost thier color and the fish turned to a gross mush. The concept wes good but the finished product was awful.

This recipe sounded great for my grandchildren, but it was awlful. The candy jelly fish turned out to be all gooey and was not edible. I had to throw the entire thing away.

After reading the other ratings I decided to change a few things, in place of jelly beans I used "Fruit Headline" which is "Lemonheads" but the all the fruit flavors/colors. We also let the jello set up a bit before adding it to the cake/candy in a bowl. It worked perfect and looks just like a Fish Bowl. It was a big hit with everyone at our family reunion.

it's a cute idea, but i had the same problem. As soon as I put in my slightly thickened jello, the cake floated to the top and the jelly beans went to the bottom. So I let it set for a while and figured I would add more jello once the first layer was more firm. I guess I should have waited 6 hours to do that, b/c when I added the next round of slightly thickened jello, the cake sucked that up too! So it looks like a pretty gross mess. If someone can tell me how to get the cake under control it may have worked, but for now my friend is getting a really weird/gross looking birthday cake.

I wasted eight (8) boxes of jello, one (1) pound cake and one (1) bag of jelly beans trying to make this recipe for my son's birthday. The pound cake absorbed the first 2 boxes of jello, so I added two more boxes. At that point, the cake started breaking apart. So in the garbage that went. Then I tried again without the cake, fish sunk to bottom and the fish bowl was only half full. So I refrigerated for two hours - then added the fish and then made two more boxes to add on top. Currently waiting for that to refrigerate so I can add more fish. This was the stupidest recipe I ever made. Never again!
