"There's nothing that says 'show-stopper' like a creepy eye staring back at you. Luckily, artist and author Nikk Alcaraz is a pro at crafting whimsical and edible eyes that are as beautiful as they are odd. His secret? Edible paint."
"Alcarez makes his edible paints with two primary ingredients: gel food dye and extract. He often uses lemon extract or straight alcohol for this paint, but these can always be substituted for another alcohol-based extract, like vanilla or almond, too."
"From there, he applies the paint layer-by-layer on the canvas - whether it's one made of chocolate, frosting, or something else - using a fine painter's brush."
"For an extra pop effect, Alcaraz uses chocolate to pipe the iris and the cornea. He notes that these techniques really help elevate your Halloween desserts to a new level of creativity and visual appeal."
