Vampire glaze (Vampirska glazura)

A thick and smooth red glaze that is easy to apply with a pastry bag and enables the creation of thin, irregular traces reminiscent of blood. It is ideal for decorating themed desserts, especially when a dramatic pouring effect is required. 

The glaze is quickly prepared with just a few simple ingredients, and the thickness is easily adjusted by adding a small amount of water or lemon juice.

Tags: for Halloween, glazes.

Preparation time: 10-15 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 100 g of powdered sugar
• 1-2 teaspoons of lemon juice
• 1–2 teaspoons of water
• red food coloring

Preparation:

1. Mix powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice in a bowl.
2. Add water, drop by drop, with constant mixing, until you get a thick but liquid glaze.
3. If the glaze is too thick, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, gradually, while mixing.
4. Add red food coloring and mix well.

Notes:

• The glaze should be thick enough to make clear red marks, but runny enough to squeeze through the small hole of the piping bag.
• For the blood effect, the icing should be bright red and slightly thicker than regular glaze.

Storage and shelf life:

• Store in a tightly closed container at room temperature.
• Consume within 2 days.
• Mix well before use.
• If the glaze thickens, add a few drops of water and stir.
• Freezing is not recommended.

3. For themed Halloween desserts, children's parties and costume parties.
