Recently in the Washington Post, I came across a farmers market favorite called, " Gelatina Encapsulada" is anyone in Northern New Jersey teaching, how to make this mexican delicacy?

The only classes I found listed (in either English or Spanish) online are in Mexico. Perhaps a shop that sells Mexican food, and that has a notice board may have something to offer; you might even put up a note asking about this.

From looking at some images and recipes, I get the impression that if you have the ingredients and equipment (fantes.com has a pretty decent selection of molds), this is one you can pretty much think out, once you've read up on the behaviour of gelatin.

I found this demo of the gelatina encapsulada technique on youtube, and was really intrigued. I had no idea that the colour was syringed into the gelatin in that manner (I assumed something pretty much like an aspic, in terms of production), it actually strikes me as at least bordering on MC territory.
