I think I got you?...





There are many sugar based colorants at walmart, kmart, etc... to bake a cake that looks like what you want to do, I saw last week, even some terrifing eyes...and stuff, that would work well on you creation, so ...go for it!
It is a perfectly literally bloody obnoxus query!! Why goin for substitutes. There are f requet cases of blood donaion bottles rotting for lack of adequate maintenance. The foul smell of it would add to the dismal character of the scenario..
cant help sorry
I learned this from watching a documentary on the making of ';Conan, the Barbarian.'; : You can make ';blood'; with a mixture of vodka and red jello. Obviously, you need more vodka than jello or it will form up solidly. If you use more vodka, it will congeal, as it will with water, but not solidly.





Pus--just use the white grape flavor of jello--it's pale yellow
