The splatters are easy to achieve by dipping a clean paintbrush or basting brush into the food coloring and then giving the bristles a hard shake several inches from the cake (be sure to protect surrounding surfaces or your kitchen will look like a murder has been commited).<\/p>\n<p>You could finish this off by nestling a replica <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nightmare-Street-Deluxe-Freddy-Glove\/dp\/B000A0YPPQ\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=shadmano-20&#038;qid=1330369060&#038;sr=8-1\">Freddy glove<\/a> beside the cake.  It would also be appropriate for a werewolf-themed wedding.<\/p>\n<p>Come to think of it, you could also do something similar for a vampire theme, but instead of claw marks use a round wooden skewer to make pairs of bite marks all over the cake and then drip a bit of &#8220;blood&#8221; from each hole.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, relatively simple idea, splendidly executed.
