Edible Fake Blood
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Water cold

Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir the cold water and corn starch together until fully incorporated.

- Add the food coloring to the cooling mixture until you have the desired color of fake blood and it's ready to drizzle onto all of your creepy cakes & treats!
- Keep in a sealed jar for up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator. If "blood" is too thick, simply thin it with a bit of water or cherry juice.
