Modeling Chocolate Goldfish with Edible Googly Eyesīefore you begin, you'll need to make some modeling chocolate. Just do a search for the animal you want to make and I'm sure you'll find the instructions. Fortunately, there are so many talented cake decorators (and clay sculptors) out there that have wonderful tutorials on sculpting figurines. I have giant hands, great for swimming, not so good for sculpting small pieces. This post is really about sharing the method of adding googly eyes to your sculpted pieces, but I will show you step-by-step instructions to create a goldfish out of modeling chocolate. This technique can be used to create eyes for any sculpted animal, human, or creature. You can, if you prefer, sculpt your animals out of fondant and use them to decorate a cake or even cupcakes. Gelatin capsules come in many different sizes, so you can make eyes the appropriate size for your sculptures, just choose the right size sugar pearls or non-pareils to fit in the capsule. They would be a whimsical addition to any summer themed party. If you make these cute characters using white modeling chocolate which tastes much like a vanilla Tootsie Roll, then you can serve them as individual treats. My sea creatures really came to life once I added these silly wiggly eyes. To my dismay, the eyes didn't wiggle and were kind of lost on the face. After playing around a bit, I determined it is best not to cut the capsules to give the eyes more room to wiggle, and that adding a bit of white modeling chocolate makes the eyes more prominent on the face. I followed the Evil Mad Scientist's instructions on making the eyes by cutting a few of the capsules and adding some black edible sugar pearls. I just needed some gelatin capsules, so I made a quick trip to the health food store. When it came time to add the eyes, I did, miraculously, remember the edible googly eyes tutorial and knew that my sea creatures would look so cute with the addition of these silly eyes. Last week I started working on summer recipe ideas inspired by the ocean and decided to sculpt some sea creatures out of modeling chocolate. I knew that someday I'd want to make use of the edible googly eyes, so I stored the idea in the far reaches of my brain - oh, and added the website to my favorites list, as I find the computer is much more reliable than my middle aged memory! They used the eyes, pressed into a malted milk ball, to adorn a Flying Spaghetti Monster which was made out of white chocolate coated chow mein noodles. So cute and so easy to make.
