The BEST METALLIC GOLD Drip

The BEST METALLIC GOLD Drip

  •  Ingredients:
  • 2 TBSP powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp gold edible dust
  • Vodka (start with a splash, add more if needed)

Directions:

  1. Whisk together powdered sugar + edible dust.
  2. Add a tiny bit of vodka and mix.
    ✨Tip: Start small — you can always add more!
  3. Keep adding drops of vodka until you reach the drip consistency you want (not runny, just smooth and shiny).

    💡PRO TIP: Make it a little thicker than you think — the Drip will naturally thin out as it sits. ✨

My Gold Drip Recipe + Quick Fixes ✨

  • Too runny: Add a little more powdered sugar to thicken. Always drip over a cold cake — warm cakes make the drip slide too far.
  • Too thick/clumpy: Add a small splash of vodka and mix until smooth.
  • Streaky or dull: Usually caused by using water or not mixing enough — remake with vodka for shine. If you already used vodka, add more luster dust.
  • Caramel-like blobs: The drip is too thick or under-whisked. Keep whisking until silky.

✨ Don’t worry if your first try isn’t perfect. I spent 15 years struggling before I found this trick. You’ve got this!
