Eye-Candy Cakes

I wanted to create a Halloween recipe that was so easy, that anyone could whip them up in less than an hour. Who has the time to fiddle around with multi step Halloween recipes, or shop for complicated ingredients. So these Eye CAndy Cakes are just that...Candy topped cake. Pick up a few bags of Eyeball Gummy Candy and a box of Red velvet Cake mix, pull out the chocolate syrup from the back of the fridge and you're good to go. It's ideal for a crowd of kids and gory enough for the most macabre adult dinner party. Happy Halloween!

Eye-Candy Cakes

Makes 24

1 box red velvet cake mix
24 gummy eyeballs (I used only red iris eyeballs)

Blood Syrup
1/2 cup Chocolate syrup
1 tsp red food coloring

Bloody Icing
1 cup powdered sugar
1 T milk
2 tsp Blood Syrup(above)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare cake according to box instructions. Spray mini bundt cake pan with cooking spray and portion cake batter and fill half way. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool in pan for 15 minutes then invert and cool on a rack. While the cakes cool, prepare the Bloody Chocolate Syrup and Bloody Icing in separate bowls.
Top each cake with a red gummy eyeball candy. Drizzle around the eyeball with Bloody Icing and then drip Blood Syrup over the eyeball and allow it to drip down the cake. Add more icing or Syrup until you get the right look.
