"BROKEN GLASS" CUPCAKES



The recipe for the "glass" is essentially one for caramel. The trick is to cook it for a shorter amount of time than usual so it stays clear.

Time 1h15m

Yield Makes 3 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 1/2 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
7 large egg whites, room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup water
1 pound cream cheese, room temperature
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
6 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup cherry preserves, strained, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the cupcakes: Line cupcake tins with baking cups. Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 3/4 teaspoon salt into a medium bowl. Combine milk and vanilla in a measuring cup.
  • Beat butter with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Reduce speed to medium, and gradually add granulated sugar in a slow, steady stream. Beat until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with milk mixture, beginning and ending with flour.
  • In a clean bowl, whisk egg whites with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold one-third of the whites into the cupcake batter. Fold in remaining egg whites in 2 batches.
  • Divide batter among baking cups, filling each halfway full. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of each comes out clean and the tops spring back when lightly touched, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely in tins set on wire racks.
  • Meanwhile, make the caramel: Bring granulated sugar and water to a boil in a small high-sided saucepan, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-high, and cook until mixture just starts to turn pale gold around edges. Remove from heat, and immediately pour caramel onto a rimmed baking sheet. Working quickly, tilt pan to spread caramel to edges to make a very thin layer. Let cool to harden.
  • Make the frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Gradually add confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Beat until creamy and spreadable.
  • Frost each cupcake using an offset spatula. Twist pan to release and break caramel in order for it to resemble broken glass. Place a shard or 2 of caramel "glass" in the center of each cupcake. Drizzle or pipe cherry preserves where caramel has entered the cupcake.

BROKEN GLASS CUPCAKES RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Broken Glass Cupcakes Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by á-32164

Number Of Ingredients 13

SUGAR GLASS:
1 can white frosting
1 box red velvet cake mix
2 cups water
1 cup light corn syrup
3 1/2 cups white sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
EDIBLE BLOOD:
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup water, or more as needed
15 drops red food coloring
3 drops blue food coloring

Steps:

  • Prepare red velvet cake mix According to box, line cupcake tins with paper cupcake liners. Divide cake batter between lined cupcake tins. Bake according to box instructions. Let cool and frost cupcakes with white frosting. Make the sugar glass. Mix 2 cups water, 1 cup corn syrup, white sugar, and cream of tartar in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Use a candy thermometer and boil sugar syrup until temperature reaches 300°F (hard ball), stirring constantly. The mixture will thicken as water evaporates. When sugar reaches 300°F, quickly pour onto a metal baking pan. This can take up to an hour -- patience! And, don't let the sugar burn. Cool until completely hardened. Break into "shards" using a meat mallet. Make the edible blood. Mix together 1/2 cup corn syrup and cornstarch in a large bowl. Slowly stir in the 1/4 cup of water, adding more if necessary, until the corn syrup mixture has thickened to the consistency of blood. Stir in the red and blue food coloring. Stab each frosted cupcake with a few shards of broken sugar glass. Drizzle on drops of "blood" to complete the effect.

Here's what you need: water, light corn syrup, granulated sugar, cornstarch, corn syrup, cornstarch, water, red gel food coloring, blue gel food coloring, red velvet cupcakes, candy thermometer

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup water
⅔ cup light corn syrup
2 cups granulated sugar
cornstarch, for dusting
¼ cup corn syrup
1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon water, room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons red gel food coloring
2 drops blue gel food coloring
8 red velvet cupcakes, store bought
candy thermometer

Steps:

  • Make the edible "glass": Line a baking sheet with a nonstick mat or parchment paper.
  • In a medium saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, combine the water, corn syrup, and sugar. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the temperature reaches 300°F (150°C), hard crack stage.
  • Pour the candy evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and let cool at room temperature for 45-50 minutes.
  • Once cooled, drop the baking sheet onto the counter a few times to break the candy into 1-2-inch "glass" shards. Dust lightly with cornstarch to prevent the pieces from sticking together.
  • Make the "blood": In a small bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, cornstarch, water, red food coloring, and blue food coloring until well combined.
  • Stick 2-3 pieces of "glass" into each red velvet cupcake. Drizzle the "blood" over the top.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To make sure your cupcakes are perfectly baked, preheat your oven to the correct temperature before you start mixing your batter.
  • Use room temperature ingredients whenever possible. This will help your cupcakes rise evenly and prevent them from being dense.
  • Don't overmix your batter. Overmixing can make your cupcakes tough and dry.
  • Fill your cupcake liners only about 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake your cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let your cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • For the best results, use a piping bag to apply the frosting to your cupcakes. This will give you a smooth, even finish.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to spread the frosting on your cupcakes. Just be sure to do it evenly.
  • To make the broken glass candy, heat the sugar in a saucepan until it melts and turns a light amber color. Then, pour the sugar onto a greased baking sheet and let it cool. Once the sugar has cooled, break it into small pieces.
  • To decorate your cupcakes, place a piece of broken glass candy on each cupcake. You can also add other decorations, such as sprinkles or edible glitter.

Conclusion:

Bloody Broken Glass Cupcakes are a fun and festive Halloween treat that is sure to be a hit with your friends and family. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So get creative and have fun!
