Making Edible Fake Blood is easier than you think – only two ingredients. Pour your bloody drizzle on our homemade cupcakes for the perfect Halloween Food Craft.

Edible Fake Blood Cupcakes

We love when the fall season hits – Halloween,Thanksgiving and Christmas. We are kicking off our Halloween ideas with our Edible Fake Blood Cupcakes Recipe. This fits perfectly with our Halloween Food Crafts for the Kids. Be sure to pair this sweet recipe with our salty and tasty Halloween Jalapeño Popper Mummies.

We supplied a homemade vanilla cupcake recipe, but you can use a box mix or you could pick up cupcakes from your local bakery. Just ask them not to ice the cupcakes. Sometimes I do that when I don’t have time for all the steps (aka baking the cupcakes) but I still want to personalize, home make cupcakes. No one ever knows (well they do, because I tell them. They find it as genius as I do!)

This cupcake recipe also goes perfectly with our trailer park murder mystery party!

Cupcake Ingredients:

• 2 cup flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vinegar
• 2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/3 cup oil
• 1 cup water
• 1 container of your favorite white frosting

Edible Blood Ingredients

• ½ cup corn syrup
• 10-20 drops red gel food coloring
• optional: edible knives/meat cleavers

Save this recipe for later. Print your recipe and add it to your recipe box or recipe binder! This is my favorite Recipe Binder – I get tired of printing the same recipe over and over. A binder keeps me organized and gives me a place to store my recipes.

Edible blood is so easy to make. Only two ingredients – corn syrup and red gel food coloring. You could add some flavoring like vanilla or cherry, but be sure to not change the thick consistency the corn syrup provides. Drizzle over the cupcakes until you get the right look. You could also pickup these edible knives (meat cleavers) for spooky cupcake decor.
