What is a Bottle Drip Cake?
The bottle drip cake is a contemporary trend in cake design that combines the refined luxury of edible flowers and fine detail with the playful, messy fun of a dripping ganache/icing – all decorated with the ultimate party accessory: a mini champagne bottle on top. They look great, they’re really tasty, and they’re perfect for a bit of boozy tippling and a celebratory toast.
The Art of Edible Flowers and Pattern creation
Edible flowers are both beautiful and all-natural. It is a key trait of most bottle-drip designs. At Tanaty Miami, we choose our edible flowers carefully: they are quite delicate and not all flowers are suitable to be ingested. Even those specially bred with that purpose can contain high concentration of oxalic acids, and consumption in high quantities can be dangerous. Decorating the baking mix with flowers prior to the baking process gives T’antay Miami the full benefit of this eye-catching ingredient. From small but luxurious violet flowers to cheerful orange ones, the final impression is gorgeous and, of course, edible.
Sophisticated piped icing in intricate patterns, or monogrammed fondant embellishments, can elevate the design to another level. Some of the fanciest looks involve lacy edging – depending on the theme of your event, you could even have a fondant zebra. With all the ingredients of a masterpiece at your disposal, you’ll be able to savor every layer.
T’antay Miami also uses macaroons as a cost effective alternative to edible flower, which tend to be a little expensive depending on the season.
