Many bakeries in Mexico sell a variety of gelatin desserts that are beautifully presented using different layers of colors, flavors, nuts, and fruits. Many include anise-flavored gelatin which gives a pleasant taste and aroma pairing well with milk jello and fruits. Many of the jello desserts sold showcase artsy forms to make it a piece of edible art.
