Tips: How to dissolve gelatin?

My first time baked a cake using gelatin turned out to be a failure. That was when I baked the Strawberry Mousse Delight. The moment gelatin was added to the water, it became lumpy and sticky, I just couldn’t dissolve it properly. Later I found out that there is a technique to dissolve gelatin…
First, pour the water required in a bowl, then sprinkle gelatin powder onto the surface slowly. Let it absorb without stirring with spoon or anything. Once absorbed it will turn into clear color. Continue to sprinkle once turned to clear. See photo below, for the differences between the original (center) light brown color, and the soaked clear color surrounding the light brown.
Once all have absorbed water, put the bowl onto double boiler, meaning a pot of boiling water, to double boil it. Stir with a spoon until all dissolved into clear water-like texture, as if nothing is inside.
Set aside to cool before adding into whatever cake batter you are making.
