Edible googly eyes for Halloween baking

Edible googly eyes
Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories came up with a genius idea for making baked goods a bit more 3-D. They created edible googly eyes by using empty gelatin pill capsules with big, round sprinkles inside. Could they be any more adorable?

I decided to give this technique a go to create some Halloween cupcakes. The hardest part about it was finding the empty gel caps, and that wasn't even very hard. I at first thought that they would sell them at a drug store. Wrong. They are sold at natural foods stores where people use them to make their own herbal pills.

Sure, a few of my friends mocked me for walking out of a store with a tons of empty gel caps. Was I becoming a druggie? The end result was worth any mocking, though.

I'd love to see what creative uses Slashfood readers can come up with for this idea. If you try it out, let me know!
