Valentine’s Day Rainbow Drip Candy Cake
Ingredients:
– 8″ round prepared cake, covered in white buttercream
– Heart shaped candies (lollipops, gummies, hard candies etc)
– Candy colors (red, pink, purple) http://amzn.to/1UGajnJ
– White soft gel color http://amzn.to/1KnuYMW
White Chocolate Ganache
– 12 ounces white chocolate chips
– 2/3 cup whipping cream
– 2 teaspoons butter
Procedure:
1. Make ganache- Heat whipping cream in a microwave safe container until cream is steaming.
2. Add chocolate chips and butter, and let sit for 1-2 minutes in the hot cream.
3. Once chips have softened, stir chips until smooth and no lumps remain.
4. Divide ganache into 4 equal amounts in small bowls.
5. Insert a toothpick into the red candy color and stir into one bowl of ganache. Repeat for the other colors and leave the forth one without color, or add a small amount of white coloring.
6. At this point, if ganache is still warm, or too thin to use on the cake, allow for it to cool for a bit longer.
7. Once ganache has cooled, put colored ganaches into separate piping bags.
8. Starting at the center of the cake, squeeze the ganache on moving the bag towards the outer edge of the cake, and squeeze enough ganache out so that it pours over the edge of the cake.
9. Repeat with a second color, then a third etc. Work your way around the entire cake until there are drips flowing over the entire edge of the cake.
10. To apply the candy, start with the largest ones first and on the left hand side of the cake. Press the lollipop sticks down into the cake so that they are secure, but are at varying heights. Place the lowest/shortest candy at the right hand side of the cake.
11. Once all the candy is applied as desired, serve to your loved ones! The cake is best consumed within 2-3 days and should be kept in a sealed container in the fridge.
