This blood-stained glass decoration is actually very simple to make. The only ingredients you need are some food coloring and sugar.

Description
Scary cupcakes for Halloween!
Cupcake batter
Frosting
Stained glass
Sift flour with baking powder and cocoa.
Mix eggs with vanilla and sugar until pale yellow and creamy. Add milk and oil and in the end, flour mixture. Pour into cupcake tins lined with paper cups.
Preheat oven to 356 F (180 C). Bake for around 20 minutes. Let cool.
For the frosting, whip the cream with vanilla extract. Put into piping bag, cut the top off and decorate the cupcakes.
For the sugar glass, melt sugar with water on low heat until it reaches 269 F (132 C). You will start smelling a bit of caramel flavor and the mixture will start getting a pale champagne color. Remove from heat and pour onto baking tray lined with parchment paper. Let cool for 30 or 60 minutes and break into pieces. Push them into the frosting and sprinkle with red food coloring combined with a bit of powdered sugar.
These need to be served immediately, as the food coloring will permeate the frosting and look messy after some time. Also, the sugar glass absorbs liquid and it won’t look good the next day.
