🧁 How to Use Bakels Truffle for a Drip Cake

1. Chill Your Cake!
Your cake should be well chilled before dripping. This is key! The cold surface helps set the warm chocolate quickly and stops it from sliding off or pooling at the base.

2. Warm the Truffle Gently
Remove the lid and microwave in 30-second bursts, shaking in between. You’ll feel it loosen as it warms — it usually takes 3–4 rounds.
Tip: Don’t use it while piping hot — let it cool slightly before applying to the cake!

3. Transfer to a Piping Bag
While you can drip straight from the bottle, it’s a bit bulky. For more control, pour the truffle into a piping bag and snip a small hole at the tip.
🎯 Do a test drip first to check the consistency and adjust accordingly.

4. Drip & Top It Off
For a full drip cake:

  • Drip around the edge first.

  • Then squeeze some truffle onto the centre and gently spread with an offset spatula to meet the edge.

👉 Add your sprinkles immediately before the chocolate sets!
