If you know anything about me…it’s this. I suck at hard projects. I lack the precision…the patience…and practice.
I don’t like any of it.
I like fast. easy. and quick.
So when it comes to going to halloween parties..I want to be able to take a fun treat…..that doesn’t involve me throwing fondant against the wall (true story)
oh…let me share this photo from our fun bakefest last christmas…
I decided to make some fun bloody cupcakes..and then at the grocery store found these candy knives…and it just all fell in to place!!!
ingredients….red velvet…cause it’s creepier.. make according to instructions. And ice…(I put mine in a sandwich baggie and cut a corner with scissors…cause i’m legit like that.)
when you are done icing it with white…I pop the icing container in the microwave for 5-10 seconds and melt that sucker up.
Add food color (in the bottle not the little squeezy things …they will just turn it pink!) You don’t need for much icing..it will be nice and runny…
you just take a spoon an start dripping and splattering…(I had mine on a wax paper sheet so I could go with reckless abandon)
Then add a knife….
(they have gummy body parts in the candy section— you could stick on an eyeball, a finger, an ear..what have you!)

LOVE! I am kinda considered the “cupcake lady” around my neck of the woods…and I love these. I am (almost) a Halloween baby, and I can totally see these at my birthday party. Thanks for the disgusting idea…haha.

What a super cool idea!! Ive been thinking about making some halloween cupcakes but they all seam super complicated! This is totally doable, even making it from scratch wouldnt be so hard.
