Playful cakes thanks to Drip Cake icing

You want to make a unique cake? With these cakes everyone will be amazed! Drip cake icing cakes are still very popular. They look incredibly beautiful and are very easy to make with the right utensils. So that you too can succeed, we have baked two beautiful cakes for you here and equipped them with matching decorations. The actual cake consists of carrot cake and buttercream, but you are of course free to choose another cake with a different filling. Our main focus here is more on the decoration. Variation one of our cakes is full of chocolatey treats that make your mouth water just by looking at them. Our second variation is more romantic. Full of colourful roses, the sight is simply to melt away. Every flower lover will be happy here. Even though the cakes look complicated, they are not. Take a look at our video and try it out for yourself! Have fun and enjoy your meal.

Preparation time

15 min.

Cooling time

60 min.

Decoration time

15 min.

Preparation cake

Ingredients/utensils:

4 pcs. Cake bases

Buttercream

Cake insert strips

2 pcs. Cake rings (same size)

One cake plate per cake

This is how it works: The preparation

  • The cake layers should be the same size as the cake rings and the cake insert strip should ideally extend several centimetres beyond the edge of the cake ring.

  • Wrap the cake insert strip once around the cake ring and cut the end so that the cake insert strip overlaps slightly. Do this twice so that you end up with two strips cut to size.

  • Now place a cake ring on the cake plate, place the cake insert strip against the cake ring from the inside and spread some buttercream in the middle. This will help your cake to stay on the plate and not slide off.
  • Then place the first pastry base in the cake ring and spread your layer of buttercream on top.
  • Of course, it can also be something else, depending on what you want as a filling. But make sure it is stable so that the cake doesn't collapse.
  • Meanwhile, when you have layered enough to go over the first plastic strip, you can take the second blank and carefully wrap it around the top half of the cake.
  • With the help of the strip, you can now put the second cake ring over the cake, so that finally two cake rings lie on top of each other and optimally support the cake (see video).
  • A little tip: You can clean the insert strips afterwards and reuse them.
  • Now place your cake in the fridge to cool
  • When the cake has cooled sufficiently and is firm, you can carefully remove the cake rings and insert strips.
  • Fill a piping bag fitted with a nozzle with soft buttercream and pipe it evenly around the edge and over the top of the cake.
  • Spread the buttercream first with a small spatula, then with an icing smoother at least the size of the cake, so that it is even. Hold the spatula at a 45° angle to the cake.
  • To get additional air bubbles out of the buttercream, you can heat the Icing Smoother either with a hot air blower or with hot water (dry well afterwards) and go over the cake again. Smooth the top from the outside to the inside.

Decoration with Drip Cake

Ingredients:

Pink and/or brown drip cake icing

Chocolate decorations:

Bueno children's bars, Duplos, Mikados, Oreo biscuits, pralines, Lindt couverture

Flower decoration:

unsprayed roses in pink, red and white

Here's how:

  • Melt the drip cake either carefully in the microwave or in a water bath. If you choose the water bath, dry the bottle briefly afterwards so that the water does not drip onto your cake.
  • Now walk along the edge of the cake with the bottle and press harder and harder, depending on how much you want the drops to run down, to create a drip pattern.
  • Once you are around the cake, you can fill the top in circles with the icing.
  • Now you can attach the decoration to the cake. For variation 1 with dark brown drip cake icing, simply stick a few chocolate bars like Bueno or Duplo into the cake. We also placed Mikados, Oreo biscuits and pralines on the cake. We recommend that you check beforehand which side of your cake is the prettiest so that you can always align it to the front. We also arrange the decoration so that it is higher at the back than at the front.
  • For variation 2, you stick (unsprayed!) roses on pink Drip Cake icing. Of course, you can also use other flowers, but make sure that they are edible! Do not put any sprayed flowers or flowers that are poisonous to humans in the cake.
  • Your homemade cake is now ready. It's best to put it in the fridge until shortly before eating so that the buttercream doesn't melt. Enjoy your meal!
