Drip cakes are a relatively new trend in the world of desserts. They got their start on Instagram and have been growing in popularity ever since. So what are drip cakes? They are simply cakes that have a layer of frosting or glaze that runs down the sides, giving them a “dripping” effect. This is done by adding more frosting to the top of the cake than you would normally add, then tilting it slowly so the excess frosting can run off the sides.

We’ve got some great ideas for decorating the cakes in a way that looks professional without taking any extra time or effort.
Ideas for decorating your drip cakes
To decorate the drip cakes, you will need: a disposable piping bag fitted with number 22 tip (or any star-shaped nozzle), glitter sprinkles in gold and black, two to three large cups for mixing colors, parchment paper or wax paper squares cut into circles about one inch bigger than your pans so that they can serve as dollies on which to place your finished drip cakes when not serving them directly from the pan, an offset spatula if making both drips of each color at once.
First off, prepare all of your ingredients for whichever recipe you want first by following the directions above. Then prepare either chocolate buttercream frosting or vanilla buttercream frosting according to the recipes below. You’ll need about four cups of each frosting for one drip cake.
Once your ingredients are prepared, pour both recipes into separate large bowls and mix them together to create a chocolate-vanilla swirl.
Dip the bottoms of two pans (one with wax paper over it) in water so that they don’t get stuck when you place them on top of the dolly squares. Pick up the first pan by its bottom edge using tongs or oven mitts. Place this pan onto your offset spatula or cardboard round if making only one color at once, then remove all but two inches from the disposable piping bag’s tip before filling it with half of your swirled vanilla/chocolate buttercream frosting mixture.
To fill bags, simply twist to close and push the frosting down into the bag. Use a large spoon or spatula to fill your piping bags, then snip off any extra with scissors so that you have at least two inches of room in each tip for decorating later on.
Now it’s time to add some glittery gold sprinkles! Sprinkle them over the top of your cake while it is still wet, then let the frosting set for about 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy your beautiful black and gold drip cake.
