From Jelly and Moulded Foods course by Historic Food
A Victorian variation on ribband jelly known as Russian Jelly or Panachee Jelly. It has been made in a nineteenth century succès mould and the opacue effect achieved by whipping the jelly to a froth . Each layer had to set, before the next was poured in.
This jelly was made from an Alexandra Cross mould with an inner lining that allows a white cross to be cast all the way through, like the wording in a stick of rock. The cross represents the Danish flag. Edward, who became king of England when his mother Queen Victoria died in 1901, married Princess Alexandra of Denmark in 1853. The Alexandra Cross mould was registered that year. - Ivan Day, Historic Food

I have got to make one of these.
I love the old copper molds almost as much as dessert!
Damn... i had a bunch of those gorgeous copper jelly moulds before I moved. They were just such interesting shapes and I actually made some desserts in them!

This reminds me of my Mother's molds and the lovely tomato aspic jelly she would make or the Salmon Mousse in the fish shaped mold for her ladies lunches. I feel inspired to shake things up around here.

That lion is amazing. I'm feeling an urgent need to start collecting molds now and make all sorts of kooky tints with fruit and veg juice.
"I don't want to be molded. I'm not a jelly." Bertie Wooster to his Aunt Agatha, "The Nephew Crusher."
I was just served insalata caprese with an aspic spoon. Just the thing, if probably inappropriate. Is there a jelly serving piece?
E&EL - would you believe there is, it's called a jelly trowel.
