Ala-ka-bizmo..! Or something to that liking...
So the walls of Minas Tirith are made of jello, right? Well thats all well and good... and wiggley/transluscent, but we're going to have some issues here. First off, if there were to be any major battles at the walls of Minas Tirith *ahem* we'd be seeing a lot of little orcsies abusing the properties of everyone's favorite psuedo-solid. cutting their way through it but getting stuck mid-way and sufficating... Can you just imagine the smell when that GIANT wall of jello were to rot away or shrink/harden of old age? Secondly, as stated before, you can see through jello (and jello can see through you...) so unless you're wanting Mordor to win with their catapults and various other siege equipments, you probably should have made a different wish.
To add insult to injury... jello has but one weakness: heat.
Heat... like that of the sun.. the sun being something we know for a fact (thank you, Peter Jackson) follows Theoden around occationally. Nevermind that he came to try and aid the only-slightly doomed Gondorians, this would definitely put an end to the multi-layered White-wiggle-city. Or, well... Numenorian Ooze-puddle.
I wish Eru really did get a penny for every thought.
