Candy Eyes

Candy eyes are small, decorative, and edible additions commonly used to animate baked goods and confections. When it comes to using these, people often doubt whether they are entirely edible, questioning their safety when consumed in larger quantities. Some also struggle with applying them without ruining the formation or decoration of their desserts. To get the most out of candy eyes, they should be applied as the final touches on the desserts. If used on frosting, make sure it has slightly set - so the candy eyes will stick. If they're being used on something harder like chocolate, a tiny dab of edible glue or even a bit of melted chocolate serves to adhere them well. A handy trick when using candy eyes is to use tweezers for precise application, avoiding melting from the heat of your fingers. Another lesser-known tip involves creating different expressions using candy eyes, which can add a fun and creative element to your baking. For example, placing the eyes closer together gives your dessert a cute appearance, while placing them further apart can create a goofier look.
