Blood-Splattered Petit Fours

Blood-Splattered Petit Fours

Thank you Brit + Co for the recipe!

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  1. Make the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, corn syrup, water, and vanilla in a medium bowl. 

  2. Trim the sides of the pound cake to make it into a perfect rectangle, then cut the cake into cubes. 

  3. Dip the cubes into the sugar mixture, then let them dry on a cooling rack for 30 minutes. 

  4. Use chopsticks or a fork to dot the petit fours with red food coloring to make a blood-splattered look. 

  5. 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. 

  6. 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. 

  7. Let the sugar glass cool for about an hour, then break it up. 

  8. Grab a glass shard and use a brush to paint red food coloring on the edges. 

  9. Place the bloody sugar glass into the petit fours.
