Scary Bloody Cupcakes

Get ready for some gory baking! These bloody cupcakes are not only delicious, they will definitely be the centerpiece for any Halloween party. Kids can inject the cupcake with bloody strawberry coulis for more flavor and fun.

Hey, it’s Halloween! Who says you can’t play with your food? It’s the only Holiday where everything is allowed and these bloody cupcakes will surely be a hit.

My daughters were so surprised and happy when they saw them. The first thing they wanted to do is inject the cupcake some and see how the inside looks.

Very cool huh? The strawberry coulis, vanilla cupcakes, and vanilla buttercream were all made from scratch, but if you don’t have the time, you can certainly buy them already made or just use a box mix. Anything is valid as long as you use the syringes (without the needles) on top.

Halloween is definitely my favorite holiday for cooking because there’s so many possibilities! All you need is a little creativity to create spooky and fun food for kids and adults alike. From witches, to spider, you name it, there’s always something cool to make.

Also, these bloody cupcakes are superb! The cake is moist, the frosting is on point and it pairs perfectly with the fresh strawberry coulis. I made it a little on the tart side so it won’t be so sugary when you take a bite.
