I haven't figured out what to do to make the eyes that would be edible, any of you wise folks out there have an idea?
The eyes in the pic look like the edible candy eyes, usually made by the brand "Wilton" applied using a dab of frosting (or maybe with this cream cheese) and usually found in the baking isle. If not at the grocery store, craft stores like Michaels, Hobby Lobby and JoAnn's carry them. Also either in the party isle or craft isle at most shopping centers (Target, Walmart) Average $2-3. (depending on package size)
Or get a small tube of white and black frosting (the kind you see in the baking isle like this:
and pipe the eyes on.
