Maybe if you sliced them up, Canned Cranberries would work for blood.
Sausage is the only thing I can think of for guts, and I don't think that'll go well on cake, sister.

I saw a bit on This Morning.
Try syrup in a bowl, add red food colouring. When it's all mixed and red then add a little blue food colouring, going carefully. This will darken it.

This is your blood.
Add some crunchy peanut butter to make it lumpy/clots.
Good luck. I'll be keen to hear how it goes for you.

If you have a juicer, juice some beetroots, the juice looks like blood. smile
