Bake bleeding vampire cupcakes for Halloween

Posted on October 20th, 2007 in Reality by Chooch

These would be a  great accompaniment to the monster cupcakes posted a few weeks ago!

From BoingBoing

Claire sez, “Maybe I’ve seen one too many horror movies already this year, but I’m totally into the idea of a Hallowe’en cupcake that bleeds when you bite into it. Especially since they bleed cherry filling (actual blood would probably put me right off cupcakes).”

Vampire cupcakesI baked my cupcakes, used the cupcake-filling technique I used on my devil’s food cupcakes to fill the cakes up with pureed cherry pie filling (canned or homemade) and topped them off with white icing to best accentuate the red bite marks. I made the marks using a skewer dipped in leftover cherry filling, making sure to leave a clear impression of a fang bite, rather than just a red streak on top of the cake.
