  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp red food coloring (gel-based)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup red velvet cake crumbs (from the cupcake centers)
  • 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1–2 tbsp red food coloring (for a vibrant, glossy red hue)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3–4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2–3 tbsp milk or heavy cream
  • A few drops of ivory or peach food coloring (adjust for a pale skin-tone effect)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Candy fangs or small dots of red vegan gelatin (for puncture marks)
  • Red syrup or edible red gel (for 'blood' drips)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla and red food coloring.
  3. In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk.

  6. Frost generously with skin-tone buttercream made from butter, powdered sugar, milk or cream, and food coloring.
