Happy Halloween!

I almost didn't make Halloween cupcakes this year as I wasn't feeling into it and didn't want to force the idea. Yesterday afternoon I started googling for ideas though and found some I had to try. I had never made anything like sugar glass before and love trying new techniques so it was a perfect opportunity. I think they turned out great!

If anyone would like to try it, just search for sugar glass, there are several tutorials out there. It's fairly simple, just time consuming.

I wasn't sure what to use for "blood" but my friend Becky suggested corn syrup and food coloring and it was perfect! I added a little vanilla as well to offset the taste of so much food coloring. A little goes a long way though, I have so much left over and I didn't think I made that much! It also runs easily, so try to pool it in areas that'll keep it on the cupcake and not running down the sides. I was unsuccessful here but that's okay! They're still great.
