As long as you’re comfortable using fondant to cover the cake, the frosting part is easy peasy! Fondant isn’t difficult either, it just takes some strength and time to roll it out!

We used a simple icing recipe and added a little corn syrup to keep some of the shine.

Directions

Bake a homemade cake. We love this vanilla recipe and this is our favorite chocolate cake. We also love our funfetti cake too!

Bake the cake in a standard 8″ round cake pan. Lightly frost the cakes before adding the fondant.

Knead and roll out the fondant to about 1/4 inch thick. Then place it over a lightly frosted cake.

The reason you frost the cake is so the fondant will stick to it and hold. Frost all the way down the sides, top, etc.

Place the fondant on top and then smooth it out using the fondant smoother. This will remove any bumps, it doesn’t have to be perfect!

If you need, store these cakes in the refrigerator for one day.

Place a rack on a rimmed cookie sheet and place the cake on top. This way the frosting will fall beneath.

Make the frosting (recipe below) and add drops of desired food coloring. We used food coloring gel for this recipe.

Don’t stir it, it will marble as you pour. Since we love blue so much, we did different shades of it to create our marble effect. You can use any color to make this cake!

Tips for Decorating

  • Once the cake is covered in fondant, you can let it cool in the refrigerator for 30 minutes if needed.
  • Remember to place the cake on a rack over a cookie tray before pouring the icing over it. This will ensure you don’t end up in a mess!
  • Finish decorating the cake with fresh fruit or edible flowers.
  • For the marbling, try to stick to different shades of the same color. It will give the marble drip cake a marble look.
  • To make it even easier, call your local bakery and order an 8″ round cake covered in white fondant. Then all you need to do is add the icing.
