Ice Cream Cone Drip Cake

Print Recipe

A fun and whimsical cake decorated to look like melting ice cream cones on top. Perfect for birthdays or summer parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 9-inch round vanilla cakes, baked and cooled
  • 2 cups buttercream frosting (various colors if desired)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or candy melts
  • Pink or colored food coloring
  • 3–4 sugar ice cream cones
  • Sprinkles, for decoration
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for ganache)

Instructions

  1. Level the cakes and stack them with buttercream in between each layer on a cake board.
  2. Apply a crumb coat of frosting and chill the cake for 30 minutes.
  3. Apply a final layer of frosting and smooth the surface.
  4. Make the chocolate ganache by heating the heavy cream until warm and pouring it over chocolate chips. Stir until smooth.
  5. Let ganache cool slightly, then drip it over the edges of the cake using a spoon or squeeze bottle.
  6. Melt white chocolate or candy melts and tint with food coloring. Pour small amounts on top of the cake to create the look of melted ice cream.
  7. Fill ice cream cones with frosting and place them upside down on the cake to look like they’re dripping.
  8. Decorate with sprinkles and extra frosting as desired.
  9. Chill until ready to serve.

Notes

  • You can use any flavor of cake or frosting to customize.
  • Colored candy melts work well for the “drip” effect.
  • Cones can be filled with cake scraps or extra frosting for stability.
