Description
Simple cupcakes decorated to look like vampire bites for Halloween.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box white cake mix
- Ingredients required by cake mix box (eggs, oil, water)
- 1 cup vanilla frosting
- Red food coloring
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 24 almond slivers (for fangs)
Instructions
- Prepare and bake the white cake mix cupcakes according to package directions. Let them cool completely.
- While the cupcakes cool, mix the red food coloring into the vanilla frosting until you reach a deep red color.
- In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder and corn syrup until smooth to create a blood-like drizzle.
- Once cooled, frost each cupcake with the red frosting.
- Place two almond slivers near the center of the frosting on each cupcake to resemble fangs.
- Drizzle a small amount of the cocoa syrup mixture around the fangs and slightly onto the frosting to simulate a bite mark.
Notes
- You can use store-bought white cupcakes to save time.
- For a darker blood effect, add a tiny drop of black food coloring to the red syrup mixture.
