Easy Gold Drip Cake Tutorial (No painting required)

In this video I show you how to make an easy diy gold drip cake without the hassle of painting the drips. I just drip the gold directly on the cake. This is my new favourite method as it's so easy and takes lesser time. The edible gold dust is mixed with lemon extract and powdered sugar to achieve a dripping consistency and the gold drips are then applied directly onto the cake. The cake is a 3-layer vanilla cake covered with American buttercream before the gold drips are applied.

Can I know what you use to colour the fondant cut out?

I used edible gold paint made by mixing edible gold dust and lemon extract. You can also mix it with any other extract or vodka. Thanks for watching!

[@abongtalum725]

Wow this looks nice and really helpful. Can the lemon extract be substituted with vinegar?

[@laurasirresistibletreats.]

Thank you so much!
I have never tried using vinegar for this, but you can use any other extract like vanilla extract or vodka that will evaporate faster and leave a shiny effect on the gold. Hope that's helpful.

[@thegracedlifenetwork8812]

Very neat sis. Plz what's that you added on top of cake ana you were stacking them? Also in the absence of the lemon extract, what can I use ?

[@laurasirresistibletreats.]

Thank you so much! It's sugar syrup (equal parts of sugar and boiled water, allowed to cool down). It helps to keep the cake moist.
You can use clear vanilla extract, or any other extract or vodka.

I love the recipe for the drip and I love how smooth you get the cake and the edges, I am still struggling with that. I did a rose gold drip and I had to paint it on the white drip it took soooo long, if only I saw your video before that.
Did you also use the gold drip to paint the stars?
You are so good and thank you for the tips

[@laurasirresistibletreats.]

Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words! Glad the video is of help. Just keep practicing and you'll get better at it. Yes, I used the same mixture to paint the stars, but sometimes for painting I just mix the gold dust with vodka or any extract like lemon, almond, vanilla or even coconut extract. 💕

Does it taste like lemon thou? And can use it to paint chocolate ganache? Or in a whipped cream frosting?

[@laurasirresistibletreats.]

The lemon extract actually evaporates, so it doesn't taste like lemon. I have never used it on chocolate ganache nor whipped cream, but I think it would work just fine. Thanks for watching!

[@swabihaabdul2473]

Hy dear, is lemon extract the same as essence/flavour?

[@laurasirresistibletreats.]

They are different, but I believe can be substituted for each other. Lemon extract is more natural, extracted from fresh lemons while lemon essence is an artificial flavor. Hope that helps. Thanks so much for watching!

Thank you for this, cake turned out great and the drip tasted delicious made with lemon juice. I just found I need a lot more icing sugar than suggested. Another time I would start with less liquid as I ended up with more icing than needed. My daughter was so pleased with her cake, so much easier than painting!

[@laurasirresistibletreats.]

@user-kv5hj4ds9g thanks for your feedback. I'm wondering if the lemon juice could be more runny or liquid than the lemon extract 🤔, all the same, I'm glad it turned out well and your daughter loved it 😍
