- As there are several components to the cupcake, it's best to plan and make some of the components ahead of time so that it makes life easier.
- It's best to decorate the cupcakes on the day or the night before serving. Store the cupcakes in a container in the refrigerator to harden the frosting and to prevent the cookie from absorbing the moisture from the frosting and turn soft. If the cupcakes has been chilled for several hours or overnight, let the cupcakes rest at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Do not let it sit out for too long as the cookies will lose their crispness and turn soft.
- You can also fill the cupcakes with a strawberry or raspberry sauce to create a flowing "blood".
