The last few weeks I have become obsessed with the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris. I quickly read the first five books in the series and then immediately started watching the HBO series.
I became obsessed with Eric Northman with the show, staying up all night watching too many episodes. Towards the end I started having weird vampire and werewolf dreams! I’m on a break from the books until the crazy dreams subside. Until the new season starts this summer I made a True Blood cake to tide me over.
I made my red velvet cake (since it’s set in the south) baked into three small layers with a basic vanilla buttercream. I made the “blood” from a mixture of corn syrup and red gel color. Once I poured it over top I put the cake in the refrigerator to keep it from dripping totally off.
Obviously vampires can’t eat cake! I made some mock Tru Blood out of milk, cocoa powder and red gel color. The dripping glass is dipped in the same corn syrup mixture as the cake.

ooooh my good this could be me! I’m obsessed with vampire stories and read/watch them all. However I didn’t start True Blood yet. Didn’t know there where books too so I might get those first. Thank you for the hint.
And the cake looks great. However I never had a good red velvet cake so far…
