While I’m not a HUGE gore Halloween fan, I don’t mind a bit of blood splatter when it comes to decorations or Halloween treats. Also, let me note that I DO NOT do well with blood in real life haha but fake blood for desserts is totally ok with me for some reason.
Also, ever since I became a mom, easy Holiday treats have been on my mind a lot. I love making treats for the holidays but I also don’t get to spend a ton of time decorating treats anymore since I have a 3 year old under my feet all the time now.
These Easy Spooky Blood Splatter Cupcakes use red food coloring for the fake edible blood. Yes, you will probably get red food coloring on your lips, but hey, they’re bloody cupcakes for Halloween. 😉
