To make the googly eyes, I used the biggest dimension, 000, empty gelatin capsules I might discover. Trim or reduce the capsules (may be seen within the video), and use a 10 mm gap punch to chop an identical dimension of edible frosting paper for every eye. Place a dry dot of black icing (template beneath), on the middle of the frosting sheet circle, pipe a line of white icing across the perimeter, and place the trimmed capsule on high. Press down gently to stick. Watch out to not transfer the googly eye round at this stage, because the black icing could persist with the white icing holding the capsule in place. As soon as the white icing has dried, your googly eye is prepared!
