Bloody Romance Cake

when your love is on the dark side

I used a variation of the about.com vegan carrot cake recipe for my base. I used a vegan version of a cream cheese recipe I have worked on getting right for my bake-business for awhile now. You can use any cake you want - however my boyfriend lovveesss carrot cake and I made it for our anniversary. Make sure you get the 8" Wilton heart cake pan - it is usually under $8. As for blood I came up with this...It is awesome! Use about 2-3 tablespoons of organic brown rice syrup, melt it on low-medium heat for a few minutes and add about 1/4 teaspoon of food coloring paste (found in cake decorating supply shops - Micheal's also carries it!). Take it off the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes, it will get all bloody/congealed like. After frosting the cake - splatter the fake blood and there ya go! :)
