This idea is gross.\u00a0 There’s no way around that.\u00a0 If you don’t want to think about squeamish things, don’t keep reading!\u00a0 But, if you need something for Halloween that is disgusting, then this is perfect for you!\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
In this tutorial, I show you how to make edible BLOOD!\u00a0 If blood covered cupcakes doesn’t revolt you enough, then definitely add our Heart and Brain Cupcakes<\/a> to your dessert buffet.\u00a0 The combo of the two cupcakes is sure to scare and frighten people away from eating them!\u00a0 Who needs a diet when you serve bloody, heart and brain cupcakes?!?<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
To make the edible blood, all you need is corn syrup, chocolate sauce and red gel paste.\u00a0 You can get away without the chocolate sauce, but it adds a bit of flavour to the mixture, rather than the pure sugar rush of just using the corn syrup.\u00a0 Don’t worry, you’ll still get a sugar rush from this combination, it will just taste better!\u00a0 Also, the chocolate tames down the brightness of the red gel paste, which makes for a more realistic blood colour.\u00a0 I don’t have a ton of experience when it comes to blood, but I do know that it’s not fluorescent red when it comes out of my mishaps.\u00a0 Adding a small amount of chocolate helps with that.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
If you want to add an additional element of gore factor, fill the middle of the cupcakes with a bright red cherry filling that will burst out when you first bite into the cupcake.\u00a0 I’m sure that will be gross enough for the goriest, gore lover!\u00a0 Also, teaming these cupcakes up with “broken” fingers, and “blood” filled syringes, like we have in the final shot of the video, will help make for the perfect Halloween scene.\u00a0 If you can handle it, that is!<\/div>\n
