Blood Drip Cupcakes Recipes

BLOODY CUPCAKES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the edible "glass": Line a baking sheet with a nonstick mat or parchment paper.
• In a medium saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, combine the water, corn syrup, and sugar. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the temperature reaches 300°F (150°C), hard crack stage.
• Pour the candy evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and let cool at room temperature for 45-50 minutes.
• Once cooled, drop the baking sheet onto the counter a few times to break the candy into 1-2-inch "glass" shards. Dust lightly with cornstarch to prevent the pieces from sticking together.
• Make the "blood": In a small bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, cornstarch, water, red food coloring, and blue food coloring until well combined.
• Stick 2-3 pieces of "glass" into each red velvet cupcake. Drizzle the "blood" over the top.
• Enjoy!

BLOODY BROKEN GLASS CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2, 12-cupcake tins with paper cupcake liners.
• Blend cake mix, 1 cup water, vegetable oil, and eggs in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on low speed for 2 minutes. Divide cake batter between lined cupcake tins.
• Bake cupcakes in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool completely. Frost cupcakes with white frosting.
• Make the sugar glass. Mix 2 cups water, 1 cup corn syrup, white sugar, and cream of tartar in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Use a candy thermometer and boil sugar syrup until temperature reaches 300 degrees (hard ball), stirring constantly. The mixture will thicken as water evaporates. When sugar reaches 300 degrees, quickly pour onto a metal baking pan. Cool until completely hardened. Break into "shards" using a meat mallet.
• Make the edible blood. Mix together 1/2 cup corn syrup and cornstarch in a large bowl. Slowly stir in the 1/4 cup of water, adding more if necessary, until the corn syrup mixture has thickened to the consistency of blood. Stir in the red and blue food coloring.
• Stab each frosted cupcake with a few shards of broken sugar glass. Drizzle on drops of "blood" to complete the effect.
