We had planned a fun night of pizza, cupcakes, and drinking games centered around this past Friday the 13th, complete with a viewing of both classics "Friday the 13th" (1980) and "Friday the 13th II" (1982). Sadly, only ONE PERSON actually showed up. Wish I had known that before the three Family-size pizzas and 18 cupcakes were made. ARRRRGGGG!
Not to be completely defeated, we rallied on, played the game (all 3 of us), gorged on pizza, and enjoyed my "Killer KupKakes", which turned out to be AWESOME! By the end of the night our sides and faces hurt from laughing so hard; maybe it was meant to be just the three of us.
For a very decent recipe, try Alton Brown's Devil's Food recipe (although I HATE his frosting). You can either make your own cherry pie filling (one of my faves by mybakingaddiction.com), or buy it in the can (I won't judge). Bake the cupcakes, allow to cool five minutes, hollow out the middles, spoon in filling, top with cake you have hollowed out, and cover with a dollop of frosting once completely cooled.
These little cakes look delightfully bloody, have a gooey gore center, and, of course, taste delicious! If prepared in a slightly "cleaner" way, these make for romantic Valentine's Day treats, too.
