Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and ensure a smooth mixture.
Baking
  1. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  2. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
Frosting and Decorating
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat together softened butter and powdered sugar, adding milk as needed until you get a smooth consistency.
  2. Stir in red food coloring until you reach your desired shade of 'vampire blood.'
  3. Using a piping bag, frost the top of your cooled cupcakes.
  4. Drizzle chocolate syrup across the top to create your vampire 'bite' marks.
Serving
  1. Gather your friends, take spooky photos, and enjoy the delightful reactions when they dig into these deliciously gruesome treats!

Notes

If frosting isn't perfect, aim for artistic look. For extra oozy cupcakes, fill centers with strawberry jam before frosting. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
