I would love to try out some recipes but I won't be able to on weekends with the rest of you. For me, weekends are my weekdays.

I tried those one year and they were a disaster. They ended up in the trash. I would love to here if someone is successful with them.

 

[firedancer41]

Btw, thanks for the suggestion MM. That would work much better for me

Taste, shape, and texture. I must have done something terribly wrong because they wouldn't hold there shape and tasted awful. They were a pain to make too. I was very disappointed. I would love to know what I did wrong though.

Round ice cube trays seem surprisingly hard to come by. Here are a couple of links for you all though.

So, far I haven't seen any in stores around here.

The only thing that I am concerned about with using the ice cube trays is whether or not the eyeballs will come out of them unharmed. I am afraid it might be a little difficult to get them out? What do you all think?

I think the spray would be the way to go. The cling wrap would probably give the eyes a wrinkly (sp?) look. I might try half the batch with the melon baller and the other half in the trays if I get any trays, that is.

Maybe this time around they won't be such a disaster for me. I am looking forward to seeing everyone elses results!

Well, I tried but they looked so terrible from the beginning so I just painted a few and then trashed them. They wouldn't even really hold their shape. I must have done something wrong.

Dark Star I was also thinking of maybe trying a different recipe for the eyeballs. What about Alton Brown's Panna Cotta recipe but mold them in the round ice cube trays or using the melon baller? Any thoughts?

 

[firedancer41]

Oh, come on now MM, someone needs to try the original recipe. I vote you do it . Seriously though, if done correctly it must work. Otherwise there wouldn't be photos of the finished product.

I think originally it was supposed to be the weekend of the 24th but it kind of just ended up being whenever this month. And yes, this is the recipe chosen for this month.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

 

[firedancer41]

Yes, you are correct DS. Mine were a disaster. I really hope they turn out for someone.
