Product Information

I use a ratio of 3 parts white chocolate to 1 part cream for my drips (3:1 ratio). The amount of ganache you’ll need to make for your drip will depend on the size of your cake and how much of a drip you want to do, but a good place to start is with 120g of chocolate or candy melts and 40g of cream. Adding corn syrup will give the ganache a little more shine when it sets, but it is completely optional. Please note: the Ganacherator will give you the amount of chocolate and cream that you will need to make your ganache, but it only gives a 3:1 ratio for white chocolate. In warm climates and during summer, you may need to increase the ratio of chocolate to 4:1 or higher to make sure the ganache sets firmly. For more info on ratios, see my ganache tutorial. We dye and disperse our colouring using these oils, allowing you to achieve a rich & vibrant result. Oil-based colourings, also known as chocolate colouring or candy colouring, are a great choice for colouring ganache. They are, of course, colourings in an oil base, and I find that these colourings blend nice and easily into the ganache, and it tends to be easier to get more vibrant colours.

Chocolate drip birthday cakes are still insanely popular, and a coloured ganache drip is a fun way to add a bit more pop to a cake design. Colour Mill colours are described as 'next generation food colour', flown all the way from Australia. These super concentrated oil based icing colourings create vibrant, consistent shades that will not fade. Colour Mill is perfect for use inbuttercream, ganache, Swiss meringue, chocolate, fondant, cream and cake mixes / batters. When I’m covering the whole top of the cake in the drip ganache, I like to do that first, then do the drips. Don’t add too much on top, just enough to cover the top of the cake in a thin layer – use an offset spatula to spread it just to the edges. Then use the squeeze bottle or a spoon to add your drips. If you need to, you can mix the types of colouring you use. I sometimes use both oils and gels in the same batch if I’m trying to get a specific colour.

Use it to work out the total amount of ganache you’ll need to fill and cover the cake (by putting in the height of the cake, number of layers of cake, and size of the cake). This will give you the total amount of ganache you need to make (if you are also filling the cake with ganache). Generally, no one cares what colour the filling is, so I go with plain(er) on the inside, and pretty on the outside. Colours will develop and deepen over time, so if possible colour your buttercream and allow it to sit overnight for super vibrant results. here's a good explanation from Colour Mill's blog . . . since 'The Age of Buttercream' we're finding that colourings are becoming less effective in our baking. Let's take Swiss Meringue Buttercream for example... 40% of your SMBC recipe is butter (oil) and you're adding gel colouring (water) to dye it? We all know that water and oil can't mix, so your traditional gel colour will only be able to dye the sugar in your buttercream but not the butter itself. That means you're adding gel/paste that can only dye 60% of the product, which is why the results are often not great You can use any of the colouring options I talked about above to colour your ganache drip. For this pink ganache drip, I used Colour Mill white and candy pink oil-based colouring.

Here are a few more related subjects, for various ganache colouring needs: How to Make White Chocolate Ganache Whiter When I’m using coloured ganache on the outside of a cake, I will generally use plain white chocolate ganache (or buttercream) as a filling, and then just use the coloured ganache on the outside. I’m not anti-food-colouring by any stretch of the imagination, but I do prefer to use less colouring when I can help it.conventional paste or gel colours are ideal for colouring sugarpaste icing but they do not really like fats or oils, so you often struggle to get proper colour consistency when using buttercream etc (see below *) this is why Colour Mill is so good . . . the formula is completely oil based, which allows the colouring to disperse properly through the sugar, eggs and butter to dye every part of the buttercream to allow deep, dark and vibrant colours In my opinion, couverture choc tastes better, but compound choc makes a more stable ganache (less likely to split or separate). I often use a combination of both types of chocolate. I cover this a bit more in the ganache FAQ post.

On the flip side, if you’re aiming for yellow, then hello, you have a head start! Other colours that contain yellow like orange and green (depending on the shade) will also be easier. perfectly suited for buttercream, ganache, Swiss meringue, chocolate, fondant, cream and cake mixes / batters The unique formula of Colour Mill, being oil-based, binds to the fats and oils in your baking. This creates a deeper, richer colour that water-based gel colours can’t achieve as they can’t bind with fat and are therefore are less effective. My preferred whitener to use is Chefmaster ‘liqua-gel’ white food colour, which is titanium dioxide in a glycerine base, and it blends in easily into the ganache. It’s also very concentrated, so not much is needed to get a good result. Americolor “white-white” gel colour is another popular option. The Colour Mill white oil colouring isn’t quite as concentrated but is great for when you just need to lift the colour slightly.
