- Place a few shards of the sugar glass into the cupcake and spoon over the fake blood.

Made the cupcakes, should blog about them on Halloween, just a couple of days to go..
Disregard my previous comment, I decided to play safe and added the decorations next day right before serving.
Thank you

Hello there! I realize this post is not recent, but I want to make them today, and was wondering if the decoration would hold overnight in the fridge or if I should maybe prepare the sugar sheet, save it overnight in the fridge and just place on the iced cupcakes right before serving...
any advice?
thank you
