Ingredients:

• 1 box of chocolate cupcake mix
• 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup of water
• 1 cup of chocolate ganache
• 1 cup of red raspberry jam
• 1 cup of chocolate frosting
• Red food coloring gel

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cupcake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and water

Mix until smooth

Fill each cupcake liner 2/3 full with the cupcake batter

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean

Allow them to cool completely

While the cupcakes are cooling, create the ax decorations

Roll out black fondant and cut out ax shapes using a knife or ax-shaped cookie cutter

Allow them to dry and harden

Once the cupcakes are cool, use a cupcake corer or a knife to create a hole in the center of each cupcake

Fill the holes with red raspberry jam to create a bloody center

Frost the cupcakes with chocolate frosting, creating a smooth surface

Mix a few drops of red food coloring gel with the chocolate ganache to create a blood glaze

Drizzle the blood glaze over the frosted cupcakes for a gruesome effect

Place the black fondant ax decorations on top of the cupcakes, pressing them gently into the frosting

Roll out white fondant and cut out X shapes to create crime scene tape

Place them around the cupcakes

Finally, add some edible blood gel splatters for an extra creepy touch
