edible eyes baking

Edible eyes are commonly used on cupcakes, cookies, brownies, cakes, cake pops and holiday treats. They’re usually attached with a small dot of frosting, buttercream, royal icing or edible glue to hold them in place.

Most candy eyes come in classic black-and-white styles. Some packages include multiple decorative designs—examples include small and large eyes, cat eyes, sleepy eyes and eyelash eyes.

Some candy-eye products are labeled Kosher or Certified Kosher, and at least one product listing notes that it contains soy ingredients. Check the specific product label for full ingredient and allergy information.

Reviewers commonly describe candy eyes as fun, cute and well-suited for Halloween and kid-friendly decorations. Many note they’re easy for children to apply. A few reviews also mention that some styles dissolve quickly, which reviewers observed when used by young children.

Edible eyes are commonly used for Halloween and other seasonal or party themes, as well as birthdays, classroom events, holiday treats like gingerbread people, and playful kid-friendly decorations.
