A Red Velvet Murder

All of you witches, elves, goblins, werewolves, zombies and…pumpkins get your Halloween jazz on with this cake because…it’s nearly Halloweeeeen! Favorite day for most of you is JUST THREE days away!

The classic Red Velvet, that I made earlier this week, has now been murdered, splattering blood all over! gasps

The two layered moist Red Velvet cake, all covered with a creamy luscious whipped cream cheese frosting is splattered with edible blood to give it that spooky touch.

This blood splattered cake will make for a perfect center piece for your Halloween party, and will have everyone’s taste buds quivering!

Make the cake. {A detailed post on how to make this cake can be seen HERE.} Spray on some blood, :3 Then, all there’s left to do is to grab a knife and dig in!

Happy Halloween everyone! 😀

A Red Velvet Murder

Ingredients:

Red Velvet Cake with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting (RECIPE)

Edible “Blood”:

1 Tablespoon water

2 Tablespoon corn flour (or corn starch)

1 teaspoon red food coloring

2 drops green food coloring

1 teaspoon honey

Directions:

Prepare and frost cake as directed HERE.

For the blood: combine all the ingredients, and mix well. Adjust water and corn flour according to thickness.

Assembly: Place cake on a piece of parchment paper or newspaper. Dip a toothbrush in the prepared blood and run your finger across the bristles of the brush in order to create a spray effect onto the cake. Flick the brush to create drops of blood.

Stick a knife in and serve.

Yeah. . .no question in my mind. . .I would definitely murder that cake. Not just a piece of it. . .but the whole cake. I bet you had a fun (albeit messy) time decorating it. This definitely would be a big hit at any Halloween or murder mystery party.
