Hi Heather! I’ve never dripped a two tiered cake before BUT I did find this video from my friend Georgia who has: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bKS5BfH3SQ hope that helps!

I love your cakes and tutorials! Quick question though, how do you do a drip cake on a 2 tiered cake? I’m doing a drip on the first cake and then on the additional 6 inch cake tier I’m putting on top. Just wondering if I place the 2nd cake on top before filling in the center area of the drip on the base cake?

In reply to Michaeline. If you're wondering about the color gel used for the buttercream, it's not bitter at all. The reason I love AmeriColor is because it produces rich colors without altering the taste of what you're coloring!

In reply to Sharon. Hi Sharon! I'm so sorry to hear that! It must have something to do with the natural coloring of the sprinkles fading when they come in contact with the wetness of the ganache. I have only ever tried this technique with sprinkles that have a waxy coating over their colors, I think that coating helps lock the color in. I would try the technique again with sprinkles that have that protective layer.

Hi! I love your site 🙂 I had done little cakes and dipped them in chocolate ganache (1.5 cream to 1 part chocolate ratio). After waiting a bit, I put my sprinkles on top. I used sprinkles with natural colouring. To my horror, after an hour or so, the sprinkles seem to have “lost” their colour!? Is it due to the natural colouring? The ganache wasnt too warm went I put them on. I think I have to remake the entire batch but dont know how to put on the sprinkles then, cos they would have faded by the time they get to the client.

In reply to Crystal. Hi Crystal! Yes, the additional fat in heavy cream is essential for thickening the ganache. It won't set up right with half and half, so next time be sure to use heavy whipping cream!

Hello,

I used your recipe for the white chocolate ganache but I only had half and half and it was super thin. Does the heavy cream really make that much of a difference? Or maybe it was too warm or not enough white chocolate chips? The drips were not pretty like yours. Thank you
