00:00It can be red, green, yellow, and white.
00:03It can also be paired with a helmet that looks like a rainbow.
00:08That's what jelly or gulaman is usually eaten in preparations.
00:11Nowadays, people are used to eating it for breakfast.
00:13It's not only in cups and containers that you can taste it.
00:16Because gulaman is like a cake.
00:21Different shapes, big and colorful designs.
00:25It has a crystal display, but it can also be crushed.
00:30JELLY MASTER
00:39Meet Lou, the jelly master, behind this colorful jelly cake.
00:43The jelly cake is made of jelly made of seaweeds.
00:47Then the base is made of milk and gelatin.
00:50I really like art.
00:52I want to explore different mediums of art.
00:57At that time, I was working.
01:00I was just trying to take classes.
01:02To learn more, Lou is present in jelly workshops.
01:05Using the melted jelly and customized syringe, Lou gradually practiced.
01:10When I enrolled in a workshop, I didn't think of it as a business.
01:15I just wanted to experience and try how to do it.
01:20The process of making jelly is tedious.
01:24The solution needs to be at the right temperature so it won't be runny.
01:30Because if it's runny, it will be cloudy.
01:33In every step, Lou can make different jelly cakes.
01:36Mostly, it's just the design that goes wrong.
01:40One time, someone ordered a Hello Kitty shape.
01:43I was just new to making other designs.
01:47When I flipped the cake, it looked different.
01:50It really looked like a monster.
01:53It's important to learn on your own.
01:56Because not everything can be taught in a workshop.
01:59You just have to watch tutorials from others.
02:03Every jelly cake is considered a masterpiece.
02:09Because we're competitive, we can do it.
02:13Because it's just jelly.
02:14So, Lou, let's do this!
02:18This is a sample of a jelly cake that Lou will make.
02:24I'll jump on you.
02:27The needle should be small.
02:29It should be in the middle of the flower.
02:31Oh, in the middle.
02:32And then?
02:33Then, in the middle.
02:35Just like this.
02:37Be careful.
02:39Just push it a little.
02:41There.
02:42Okay.
02:43The middle of the flower should be in a circle.
02:47Move the angle a little.
02:51The artistic part of me.
02:56In making the base, just mix the jelly powder, sugar, and water.
03:00We'll add flavoring to make it tasty.
03:05We'll let it harden.
03:07Usually, for 2 hours minimum.
03:09Then, we'll refrigerate it.
03:11Usually, we refrigerate it overnight.
03:13If it's not set properly, the jelly will be soft.
03:17So, there's a chance that it will fall on the way.
03:21In making the colorful design, Lou will use milk, jelly, and food coloring.
03:27When the jelly base is hard, attack Susan!
03:30Let's make the strong design.
03:33Is it a little long?
03:35Yes, but it's far.
03:37It should be here in the center.
03:39Again and again.
03:41In the center.
03:42It looks like I'm the one who will melt here in what I'm doing.
03:45Do you have hope to sell Jelly Cake a la Susan?
03:49Just let it be.
03:50It's not a contest.
03:54One of the selling points of Lou's Jelly Cake business is unique.
03:57My initial investment in the workshop was around Php 10,000.
04:02Then, my mentor encouraged me.
04:05He said, the Chinese New Year is just around the corner.
04:09So, ever since then, I practiced it day in and night out.
04:17But what if you try to make it DIY first?
04:20Maybe around Php 2,000.
04:23When I started, it was just round.
04:25Then, gradually, I added other sizes.
04:28Each color and detail of her cake is made by hand.
04:32The most basic thing you need is a needle.
04:35Because it can make a lot of shapes.
04:38There are fruit flavors like lychee, almond, and mango.
04:42Recently, I explored 4D cakes.
04:46But despite the increasing orders, the trials are still there.
04:51One mall reached out and offered a space.
04:56Actually, it's rent-free.
04:58But it's only for a limited time.
05:00It's only for 6 months.
05:02At first, it was just strong.
05:04Because it's hype.
05:05But when it died down, there were no orders.
05:10Lu is back to where she started.
05:12She's now online.
05:14She also has her own version of Hugis Number.
05:17She also has a fresh fruit taste.
05:19So, when she flexes online, her fruits are hooked right away.
05:24Lu makes it so easy.
05:26But it's so hard for me.
05:27If Lu's business is booming,
05:29it seems like my jelly cake has surpassed it.
05:32So, I'll ask for tips from Master Jelly Maker.
05:35Even when you hold it, there's a style, right?
05:39Angle.
05:40Angle.
05:41In the center.
05:43There, that's right.
05:45In the center.
05:48Here, here, here.
05:49There, there.
05:53Inside, you have to press it.
05:58Why do you have to press it first?
05:59You have to poke it first, right?
06:01Look, the leaf has formed.
06:04Inside, hold on.
06:06There.
06:08There.
06:09There.
06:10But it's already flowery, right?
06:12Yes.
06:13Does it look good?
06:14Is it okay?
06:15What?
06:16It's okay.
06:22You know this?
06:23Because this is the only one that's flowery.
06:25There's even a leaf, right?
06:27Let me show you.
06:28This is the premium one.
06:30This is the one that fell from the tree.
06:34Are you going to eat it or just display it?
06:36It looks good, right?
06:37Let's just display it because it's beautiful.
06:39You don't want to eat it, right?
06:41You just want to look at it.
06:42The design will be ruined.
06:44Ah, it's so beautiful.
06:50Mm, it's cold.
06:53Mm, it's good.
06:54It's firm.
06:57It's really firm.
06:59Okay.
07:00Okay.
07:02Mm.
07:05Even though it's not easy to build a gulaman business,
07:09Lu didn't give up.
07:11I want to manage my own time.
07:14And the cakes are strong, especially during the season,
07:18like birthdays, Christmas, and Mother's Day.
07:22So, because of the holidays,
07:25I thought,
07:26ah, sales can be like this.
07:28That's when I realized that I can resign from my corporate job.
07:33Usually, during the regular days, it's around 50.
07:36During the holidays, it's really 100+.
07:39Lu has a unique technique in designing.
07:42She also has a secret reveal in business.
07:45I wasn't born talented.
07:47So, it's really just practice.
07:49You really need to research.
07:51No matter what, even if it's 30 minutes a day,
07:54you need to invest time to reach your goal.
07:59Soft and easy to melt like a jelly cake,
08:02because of the trials it went through,
08:04the firm foundation in business was gradually built and strengthened.
