Add the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk to the egg and sugar mixture and mix everything well. - Baking cupcakes
Pour the batter into paper muffin cups or a muffin tin. Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 10-15 minutes. Then remove from the oven and let cool. - Prepare the frosting
For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and softened butter with the powdered sugar until fluffy. - Decorating cupcakes
Fill a piping bag with the frosting and spread it evenly on the cupcakes. Make sure the cupcakes are completely cooled, otherwise the frosting will melt. - Create a scary effect
For the “bloody” effect, spread some raspberry or strawberry sauce on the frosting.
