Make the cherry jelly using water mixed with some of the reserved Opies Cocktail Cherry syrup for extra cherry flavour. Pour into a shallow dish and chill until set (about 2 hours).
Place Opies Cocktail Cherries on a plate. Use black edible gel or icing pen to dot a small black “pupil” on each cherry to create creepy eyes. Set aside to dry.
In serving glasses, jars or bowls, layer sponge cake cubes, jelly cubes, custard, and whipped cream. Repeat layers until almost full.
Drizzle Opies Summer Berry Compote over the top layer of whipped cream to mimic dripping blood. Arrange the cherry “eyes” on top. For extra effect, drizzle a little more compote or reserved cherry syrup around the cherries.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
