Making sugar glass is an easy method that sounds intimidating at first. Keep in mind that sizzling sugar is molten stage sizzling.
NEVER attempt to contact it along with your fingers for any motive.
Step 1: Warmth the sugar syrup to 300-310℉
The shards of sugar glass have just one requirement. Ensure you warmth the sugar to the proper temperature. 300-310℉ (149-154℃).
This temperature is named the exhausting crack stage. It’s the temperature used to make toffee, brittles, and lollipops.
A sweet thermometer (affiliate hyperlink) is your secret weapon for creating sugar glass.

I take advantage of a Silpat silicone mat to do that. Nothing sticks to those mats. They’re implausible for making issues like butter toffee and edible glass. The mat makes it straightforward to unfold the recent sugar good and evenly.
If you happen to don’t have a Silpat mat, you may spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray after which pour the recent sugar syrup onto it.

I do know you may have been ready all of your life for an edible blood recipe.
An edible faux blood recipe is a combination of corn syrup (affiliate hyperlink) and food-grade gel meals coloring (affiliate hyperlink). Confectioners or powdered sugar is used to thicken it. It’s straightforward to make and stains the whole lot, so watch out.
- Begin with 1 / 4 cup of corn syrup after which add true purple food-grade gel till you get a shiny purple blood coloration.
- Add in confectioners sugar a tablespoon at a time till you get a consistency that’s like thick honey.
Positively, DO NOT use edible blood as costume blood except you wish to be stained purple.

Learn how to Beautify Bleeding Halloween Cupcakes

Now that the cupcakes are utterly cooled, you’ll take away a small quantity of the middle to make room for any filling.
You are able to do this with a cupcake corer instrument (affiliate hyperlink). OR a small pairing knife. When you get this method down, you may fill any cupcake with something like a professional.
MY METHOD: Like with my St. Paddy’s Day Automobile Bomb Cupcakes, I take advantage of a small paring knife at a 45-degree angle to carve out a small cone form. It’s a lot simpler than it sounds.
step 2—Fill every cupcake
After you have the cupcakes cored, fill them with a Luxardo cherry and some teaspoons of syrup from the cherries. This will provide you with probably the most fabulous fake blood-filled cupcakes.
Step 3—Frost the cupcakes
I like to make use of a piping bag (affiliate hyperlink) fitted with a giant spherical frosting tip (affiliate hyperlink) to frost these cupcakes.
If you happen to don’t have a flowery piping bag or piping suggestions, you should utilize a freezer bag with the nook minimize off. You can also use a knife or offset spatula for frosting cupcakes.

I like to save lots of this step proper earlier than serving the cupcakes.
- Use a spoon to drizzle the cupcakes with edible blood.
- Dip the sugar glass into the edible blood and stab them — lovingly, in fact —into the blood-spattered cupcakes.
⛔️ Be warned that the sugar glass will begin to soften contained in the cupcakes after just a few hours, so it’s best to stab your cupcakes comparatively near the time you’re serving them.
