Product Information

Welcome to The Ultimate Drip Cake How To Guide! Drip cakes are one of the cakes I get asked the most questions about. Because of this, I've created what I believe to be the most thorough guide on how to make and decorate a drip cake. I've covered pretty much everything in this guide. So whether you're making your first drip cake, or you've made a few but you want to try a different technique, the answer to your question should be here! And if it isn't, please let me know in the comments and I will endeavour to find out. You can use the handy menu below to skip to the section you need, or start at the top for the full guide. I've also filmed a tutorial video to go alongside this guide, which you can watch on my YouTube channel. Menu What is a drip cake? Heat 3 Tbsp heavy cream in a heat proof bowl in the microwave in 15 second intervals, until it's steaming and just beginning to bubble. Drip cakes don’t have to be scary, but there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure you get that perfect drip look! The most common issues people run into when making drip cakes include:

The most common type of drip is a dark chocolate drip, so I'd recommend using dark chocolate for your first few forays into the drip cake world. White chocolate is also popular, while milk chocolate trails behind and is rarely used from what I've seen. The extra milk in both white and milk chocolate make them harder to work with, but not impossible. If you want to get technical, the best type of chocolate to use has between 50-60% cocoa.Then test out one more drip, just to be safe! While these extra steps may lengthen the process, it’s worth it to make sure your drips are perfect. Once the ganache is smooth, mix in the gel food coloring until the ganache is evenly colored. If you plan to use a plastic bottle to add your drips, pour the mixture into a plastic bottle.

Is there anything else you can drip down the sides of a cake? Well, I've done it with jam, icing (the classic water and icing sugar mixture), and warmed up Biscoff spread. Any kind of chocolate spread should work, like Nutella for example. If you're willing to experiment then I'm sure there are more options too!

Of course it didn't matter to me what gender baby I got, but either way, it's always good to have cake! You can adapt this Baby Gender Reveal Cake for either gender baby you're revealing and I've included full instructions at the end of the post, plus scroll to the end to find out the gender of my baby!

There are two methods you could use for making a chocolate drip cake. I prefer the look and ease of the squeeze bottle method, but if you don’t have one the spoon method will work as well. To make the cakes, mix together the butter and sugar until creamy, then mix in the eggs and vanilla extract. Finally, gently mix in the self raising flour. I only have three 8" cake tins, so I made half of the cake mixture, coloured and baked it. Then repeated the process for the other three colours. Colorful drips are such a simple and gorgeous way to decorate a cake. It’s one of my favorite decorating techniques, and that’s why I’m sharing this tutorial on how to make a blue drip cake! Whenever I use a spoon, I feel like I’m going to dribble ganache all over my counter, or on the cake where I don’t want it. If you make this buttercream in advance, cover the bowl with plastic wrap to prevent crusting. American buttercream can sit out at room temperature for up to 24 hours or lasts up to a month in the fridge. Just be sure to give the frosting a good stir with a rubber spatula once it thaws to push out any air bubbles and get the consistency smooth again.

My first tip is to make sure your cake is properly chilled. Once frosted, you should allow it sit in your fridge for at least 20 minutes, or in your freezer for 10 minutes. This makes sure the frosting is cold and firm to the touch. My blue drip recipe is made with white chocolate ganache, and is primarily made with heavy cream, white chocolate and blue gel food coloring. Adding colored drips to a cake is the perfect way to take your cake decorating skills to the next level! It’s such an elegant, yet playful cake design. If your ganache is too warm, it will be thinner than you want, and will run straight down the cake and pool at the bottom of your cake board. Make this colored drip recipe ahead of time or save leftovers! Once it’s made, wrap the bowl with plastic wrap or cover the top of the plastic bottle and store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
