Eye see you!

Our neighbors were hosting a Halloween party last Saturday and the invitation said to bring a "creepy treat" so I had to do some thinking to figure out what a "creepy treat" was but I came up with the perfect idea! Cake truffle eyeballs! They were just the basic Bakerella cake ball recipe then I used gummy lifesavers for the iris and then a upside down chocolate chip for the pupil. I put the lifesaver on immediately after dipping the ball in the almond bark so it would stick. Then I used red piping gel to draw the veins. I made the balls a bit bigger than usual so they would fit the lifesaver. I used on bag of lifesavers and that was enough for one batch, but I did need three of those little red gel tubes you get at the grocery store. Of course I had to use red velvet cake for the inside so it was red when you would bite into it. They were a big hit and I'll have to remember this for future Halloween parties.
Here's the link for the basic cake ball recipe.
