For the topping:

Put the gelatin sheets into a bowl of cold water and leave until softened. Stir the jelly crystals into 300ml of boiling water and set aside.
In a small bowl add the red wine Ginger, Cinnamon, Orange and Clove Spice Drops® and sugar. Mix until the sugar dissolves. Squeeze the excess water out of the gelatin sheets and put the sheets into a large bowl.
Add the wine mixture on to the gelatin sheets then add the jelly mixture, stir well and leave to cool.
Arrange the mixed berries and the cake pieces into a large glass serving bowl and pour in enough of the cooled jelly mixture to cover about two-thirds of the bowl, leaving room for the custard and fromage frais.
Chill for at least five hours or overnight, so that the jelly sets well.
In a bowl mix the Cardamom Spice Drops® into the custard and stir well. Spoon the custard over the set jelly, then whisk together the fromage frais and Vanilla Spice Drops® and spoon on top of the custard layer.
Scatter the edible decorations on top, before serving, to give it a festive touch.
