I thought you'd like to see yet another way to pipe royal icing eyeballs (previous versions are
here and
here). Start by sticking a parchment square to a flower nail with a dab from a glue stick.
Load a round #12 tip onto a bag containing stiff consistency white royal icing. Hold the tip at a 45 degree angle to and just above the surface and pipe a ball. Move the tip along while decreasing pressure. Stop pressure and pull the tip away.
Touch a fingertip to a
dusting pouch and tap the end smooth.
Repeat the process for a second eye, making sure the two are touching.
If you are piping a lot of them, you may want to tape a piece of parchment paper to a cookie sheet instead of using a flower nail.
When the icing is completely hard, draw in some pupils with a food-safe marker like the
AmeriColor Gourmet Writer. I think these would look really cool positioned on some sort of haunted house cake, peering out of a black window or through the bushes. They can also be used to add all sorts of personality to any small dessert like cupcakes.
