Making the Frosting:

  1. Cream powdered sugar, vanilla, and butter together in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and creamy. If for some reason it doesn’t cream you can add a few drops of heavy whipping cream until it creams.
  2. Test to see if the frosting can form and hold a stiff peak by getting a spoonful of frosting and turning the spoon upside down to see if the frosting stays on the spoon or falls off. If it doesn’t stay on the spoon, add more powder sugar 1/4 cup at a time and mix well.
  3. Once frosting is ready, you can place it into a pastry bag with a large tip (we used a 13-inch tip).
  4. Twist the open end of the pastry bag and push the frosting to the tip. Begin to frost the cupcake edge first working inward to the center of the cupcake.
  5. Drizzle the red sparkle gel on the cupcake. Starting at the top and drizzle it down the sides of the white frosting. Place the bloody axe in the center of the top of the cupcake.
