Also known as "Broken Glass,” the Cathedral Window resembles, well, windows lining the walls of churches, owing to the multi-colored gelatin embedded in its creamy, milky mold. Pieces of green, red, and yellow gelatin also stand for colors most associated with Christmas.
For a novice cook, it may be rather complicated to make, what with all the setting, cutting, pouring, and chilling of gelatin. For those who want to enjoy the Cathedral Window sans the trouble, you can simply buy from the many bakeshops at the mall. They taste as good as your mother’s cooking.
