Blood-Splattered Petit Fours
-
1 lb. frozen cake
-
1 lb. powdered sugar
-
¼ cup water

¼ cup corn syrup

1 tsp vanilla
-
Red food coloring
Sugar Glass:
-
1 + ¾ cup sugar
-
1 cup water
-
½ cup corn syrup
-
½ tsp cream of tartar
-
Make the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, corn syrup, water, and vanilla in a medium bowl.
-
Trim the sides of the pound cake to make it into a perfect rectangle, then cut the cake into cubes.
-
Dip the cubes into the sugar mixture, then let them dry on a cooling rack for 30 minutes.
-
Use chopsticks or a fork to dot the petit fours with red food coloring to make a blood-splattered look.

To make the sugar glass, combine all the ingredients in a medium saucepan. Heat it over medium heat for about an hour until the temperature reaches 302°F.

Remove the pan from the stove and spread it onto the baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Use an offset spatula to gently spread the mixture.
-
Let the sugar glass cool for about an hour, then break it up.
-
Grab a glass shard and use a brush to paint red food coloring on the edges.
-
Place the bloody sugar glass into the petit fours.
