We’re Drooling Over This Wildly Romantic Drip Layer Cake That’s Perfect for Your Bridal Shower

Pretty and demure or technicolor bright, drip cakesare definitely having a moment. There’s such drama in a colorful drip streaking down the side of a tall layer cake — it’s no surprise they’ve become so popular at weddings and showers. And it’s surprisingly simple to create your own. You just need to bake your favorite sponge cake, get creative with the decorations… and then decide on the all-important color of your drip! We used white chocolate ganache to create the drip in this recipe, and then tinted it using Americolor gel food coloring. We chose a medley of fresh fruit and herbs for the topper, but you can choose the decorations to suit your theme and occasion.

Ingredients:

For the cake layers

  • 10 1/2 ounces all-purpose flour
  • 11 1/2 ounces caster sugar
  • 2 ounces ground almonds
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 Tablespoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 7 ounces unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 6 1/2 fluid ounces whole milk + 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • extra butter and flour for the cake tins
  • four 6×3-inch cake tins
  • greaseproof paper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease four 6-inch cake tins. Line the bottoms with greaseproof paper, grease again, and dust with flour. Shake out any excess.
  2. Put the flour, sugar, ground almonds, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt in a food processor fitted with a metal blade or in the bowl of a stand mixer. Pulse or mix briefly to combine.
  3. Add the cubed butter, and pulse or mix again until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  4. Add the eggs and mix until incorporated. You might need to scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is evenly mixed.
  5. Add the milk and vanilla extract and mix for 2-3 minutes until the batter is smooth. Again, scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake tins. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean and the cakes are springy to the touch.
  7. Leave the cakes to cool in the tins for 10 minutes, then carefully turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Cut any “domes” off the cakes using a serrated knife to ensure all layers are even and level.

Ingredients:

For the filling, frosting, and decorations

  • 14 ounces full-fat mascarpone
  • 8 1/2 fluid ounces heavy cream
  • 10 1/2 ounces icing sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 10 ounces store-bought lemon or passionfruit curd
  • 3 ounces fresh blueberries
  • a selection of fresh fruit such as figs, cherries, pomegranate, and blackberries to decorate
  • sprigs of fresh rosemary to decorate

For the drip

  • 3 1/2 ounces good quality white chocolate, finely chopped
  • 3 fluid ounces heavy cream
  • Americolor soft gel paste food colors

Instructions:

  1. Put all the mascarpone, heavy cream, icing sugar, and vanilla extract in the bowl of your stand mixer. Whisk on low speed to combine. Increase the speed to maximum and whisk for a minute. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Whisk again until you have firm peaks — about a minute more.
  2. Transfer the frosting to a large piping bag fitted with a plain round tip. Put the lemon curd in another piping bag.
  3. Add a little frosting on your cake stand or platter to secure the bottom cake layer. Pipe a ring of frosting around the perimeter of the cake. Pipe a ring of lemon curd on the inside, then another ring of frosting, and finally a dot of curd. Dot the curd with fresh blueberries.
  4. Repeat this until you’ve used all the layers. Add a large dollop of frosting on the top of the cake and use an offset spatula or pastry scraper to spread it on top of the cake in an even layer and then down the sides of the cake.
  5. Add more frosting to the sides of the cake as needed and use a pastry scraper to smooth it so that the layers are showing through for a naked cake effect. This is best done using a cake turntable. Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Put the white chocolate and heavy cream in a bowl and microwave in 10-second bursts until it starts to melt. Stir until completely smooth and glossy. Add a small amount of gel food coloring (or combinations of colors) until you achieve the desired shade. I used Americolor in electric pink, purple, and blue.
  7. Leave the ganache to cool — put in the fridge for 20 minutes if you’re in a hurry.
  8. Use a spoon or a squeeze bottle to add a little ganache near the edge of the top so that it drips down the sides. Test a small amount first to see how it drips down the cake so you can control the effect. Once you’re happy with it, add drips down the side of the entire cake.
  9. Fill the top of the cake with the ganache, starting at the center and moving outward. Chill the cake until the ganache is almost set before adding your decorations. It’s best to add any fresh fruit etc. at the last minute before you’re ready to present the cake.
  10. Artfully arrange fresh fruit — figs, blackberries, pomegranate seeds, and cherries — over the top of the cake. Add a few sprigs of rosemary for a rustic touch and prepare to wow your guests!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease four six-inch cake tins. Line the bottoms with greaseproof paper, grease again, and dust with flour. Shake out any excess.

Artfully arrange fresh fruit — figs, blackberries, pomegranate seeds, and cherries — over the top of the cake. Add a few sprigs of rosemary for a rustic touch, and prepare to wow your guests!

The cakes can be prepared up to two days in advance and kept, well wrapped, at room temperature. Once the cake is filled, it is best consumed on the same day. Make sure you add the fruit, or any other decorations, just before you’re ready to present the cake to your guests.

Keri Russell "Would Totally" Do 'Felicity' Reboot — On One Condition

Reboots and rewatches are all the rage right now, and for good reason. They're nostaltic, they're cozy, and they really make me wish I was a teenager in the 00s. In addition to Scott Patterson saying he's "always hopeful" for Gilmore Girls to come back, Keri Russell just revealed how much she'd love to revisit Felicity, too!

  • Keri Russell reveals she'd "totally do" a Felicity reboot — on one condition.
  • Scott Foley also says "it would be really nice" to get the cast back together.
  • Felicity ran from 1998-2002 on The WB and is now available to stream on Hulu.

    Are they rebooting Felicity?

    youtube.com

    - YouTube

    While promoting The Diplomat season 2, Keri Russell said she'd love to bring the series back if the story made sense. “I would totally do that if it was the right stuff,” she told E! News. “Mandy had a good pitch for it, actually. A really good pitch for, like… life wasn’t going great and, you know, didn’t work out. And she was supposed to be all these things. And then she bumps into someone…Never say never!"

    In case you haven't seen the show (which ran from 1998-2002 and is available to stream on Hulu, FYI), Felicity follows Keri Russell's titular character, who's in for a rude awakening when she follows her high school crush to college in New York City. But once she's there, she realizes just how big the Big Apple really is.

    The series also starred Scott Speedman as Ben Covington, Scott Foley as Noel Crane, Amy Jo Johnson as Julie Emrick, and Tangi Miller as Elena Tyler. Keri actually said they "all still talk all the time!”

    “They’re like my total pals,” she says.

    What else has the cast said about bringing Felicity back?

    Getty Images

    Scott Foley told ET that he'd consider coming back for another installment of Felicity, even though he's been against a reboot in the past. "I had always said I wouldn't — you know, there's no reason to do anything," he said. "But just to be with them again, I think would be really nice... When we did the 20th reunion down in Texas at the [ATX Television Festival], we were onstage in a panel answering questions, and I missed being with them."

    "I don't know if it could ever really happen, you know, Felicity was such a specific show at a specific time that took took place in a specific moment in people's lives," he continues. "And it's really hard to recapture — especially with the amount of gray going on right now."

    In March, Greg Gunberg (who played Sean Blumberg) hinted that there'd be some "GIGANTIC Felicity News Coming VERY Soon."

    So are we getting a Felicity reboot? It looks like, in Keri Russell's words, never say never!

    Already Binged 'The Diplomat'? Here's When To Expect Season 3!

    This is not a drill: Netflix’s critically acclaimed series The Diplomat is returning for a third season! And how do we know this? Just days before the season two premiere, the streaming service announced that the popular political drama will be returning for a third installment — and we couldn’t be more excited! So, what’s next for Kate Wyler (Keri Russell)? Will she be able to catch the culprit behind the catastrophic explosion that took place in the middle of London? Is there a future for Kate and her husband, Hal Wyler (played by Rufus Sewell), who was injured in the explosion? Here is everything we know about The Diplomat season 3, including plot, cast, premiere date, trailer and more.


    What is 'The Diplomat' Season 3 about?

    Netflix

    Being that The Diplomat season two has yet to be released (FYI, the second installment premieres on October 31), we don’t know what the central plot for season three will be. But one thing we know for sure? “Season 3 flips the chessboard,” creator, showrunner, and executive producer Debora Cahn recently told Netflix’s TUDUM. And that’s not all: Cahn also revealed that The Diplomat season three finds Kate dealing with the “particular nightmare that is getting what you want.” OK, we will definitely be SAT.

    When was 'The Diplomat' Season 3 confirmed?

    Netflix

    Three weeks before The Diplomat season two premiere, Netflix’s Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria officially confirmed that The Diplomat season three received the green light while on stage at the Bloomberg Screentime Conference in Los Angeles. Shortly after the news was revealed, The Diplomat creator Debora Cahn shared (per Variety), “After an amazing summer shooting in the U.K., we brought London home to NY.” She continued, “Best of both worlds—filming in Brooklyn. We love doing this. We’re so excited to get to keep going.” With so many TV show cancellations this year, we are so excited to see the continuation of Kate’s story in the U.K. Here’s to more adventures with our favorite diplomat!

    Is 'The Diplomat' Season 3 currently in production?

    Netflix

    We’re happy to confirm that yes it is! According to Netflix’s TUDUM, production for The Diplomat season 3 has officially begun in London and NYC.

    When will 'The Diplomat' Season 3 premiere?

    Netflix

    Here’s the thing…we don’t have an exact release date for The Diplomat season three at the moment. But given the fact The Diplomat season three has already started production, we speculate that the future installment may premiere sometime in 2025.

    Who's in the cast for 'The Diplomat' Season 3?

    Getty Images for Netflix

    If Kate Wyatt and her team survive the chaotic events of The Diplomat season two (fingers crossed!), we’re confident that the main cast will return for the third installment, which includes Russell as Kate, Sewell as Hal Wyler, as Ali Ahn as CIA Station Chief Eidra Park, Ato Essandoh as Kate’s Chief of Staff Stuart Hayford and Rory Kinnear as British Prime Minister Nicol Trowbridge.

    Is there a trailer for 'The Diplomat' Season 3?

    Netflix

    Currently, there is no trailer for The Diplomat season three. But when it’s released, you’ll be the first to know!

    Where can I watch 'The Diplomat' Season 3?

    Netflix

    Being that The Diplomat is a Netflix Original series, all new episodes will be available to watch on Netflix! But until then, The Diplomat season one is streaming right now on Netflix!

    Stay tuned for more The Diplomat season 3 news and updates — & follow us on Facebook!
