With a little inspiration, imagination and forward planning, a day involving screaming hordes of children descending on your home in search of fairy bread can be fun.

Method

Make the jelly according to instructions on the packet and pour half of it evenly between 12 small wide glasses. Place glasses in the fridge until the jelly is almost set. Place 1 or 2 frogs on top of each jelly and top up glasses with remaining jelly. Refrigerate until set. Decorate with small flowers.

Can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored covered in the fridge. Place flowers on jellies on the day of the party.

Makes 12.
