by Tami Rose

NOTE: If you missed the first page of this recipe, use the "previous page" button at the bottom of the instructions or click here to start from the beginning.

Now that your supplies are at the ready and your work surface has been prepared, let's begin!

What You Do

Bake cake according to package. Remove cake from oven and immediately dump into a large bowl. Use a fork to break up the cake into crumbs.

Add one entire container of frosting to the bowl and stir until completely mixed.

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Scoop the cake mixture into the palm of your hand - about the size of a large walnut-- roll into balls and place on cookie sheet. Place cake balls into refrigerator for 1 hour to chill.

In a microwave safe bowl, melt 1/2 of the white chocolate.

Remove the cake balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork or a skewer, add a ball to the melted white chocolate and turn to completely coat. Lay on wax paper to dry. Immediately top each cake ball with one gummi candy. Continue until all of the cake balls have been coated in the chocolate and topped with gummies.

Tint 1/4 C. of vanilla frosting with black food coloring. Draw a black circle in the center of each gummi candy for the pupil of the eye.


** Note: You may choose to use black decorator gel instead of the frosting but please be aware that the gel might not dry completely, making it difficult to pack the eyeballs into storage containers. It would be best to eat immediately if choosing to use the gel. Melt 1/2 of the red chocolate and use to draw in the bloodshot lines on the eyes.
