If you have ever attempted to make one yourself or even searched the internet for the best method, you will have found that there are hundreds of different recipes and methods to get the perfect drip cake. This is my tried and true approach:
Recipe: 100g chocolate or candy melts 100ml Double cream 2 Tablespoons Glucose syrup **NOTE: multiply up this recipe as required; I prefer to use weight for this recipe because candy melts and chopped chocolate do not measure as precise in cups. Method:

Making gender reveal cakes has always been one of my most favorite cakes to make. I always felt like it was such an honor to be the first to know such important news. It's also one of the more stressful cakes to make, because you have to get it right!
As some of my followers know I am pregnant with our first child. Which we are absolutely over the moon about; its the biggest blessing I could have ever hopped for and I was hoping we would be able to have a gender reveal cake of our own. So we decided to do one for our Mother's and family for Mother's Day. My husband and I already know the gender, but thought it would be fun to so something special, and something that represents our unique personalities in how we revealed our little one's gender to our friends and family. So we settled on doing a gender reveal cake for our families and my husband is going to our local gun range to shoot at exploding targets (which will be full of our gender colour) and film it for a "Facebook Reveal". So in honor of our gender reveal, I thought I would show my followers how to do a photo tutorial of how to make your own gender reveal cake at home. As much as I love making my customers beautiful gender reveal cakes; it's not always feasible, now you can make a quick and easy homemade version! Step One:
Step Three: Take a round cookie cutter and cut a hole in the middle of all your cake layers Except for the top and bottom cake layers.
Step Four: Stack and fill your layers with your favorite homemade buttercream; making sure to leave that middle hole free of buttercream.
Step Five: Fill the centre of the cake with Pink or Blue candies.
Step Six: Place the top layer on the cake and cover with a layer of your icing and decorate!
Now normally I don't publicize cake recipes that we actually use; but I thought I would make an exception since it is Halloween and I have a bit of down time to do some do blogging and work on my website. I hope you like it!
This recipe is so tasty and versatile; it's a great all-around recipe that can be used for a wedding cake as well as a banana loaf cake/bread. This recipe needs a butter based butter cream rather than a shortening based one; and when you are baking be careful this cake expands..so its better to leave room in the pan than to have an exploding mess at the bottom of your oven!

Directions:
There are a ton of variation's of the WASC cake, and for good reason it's an amazing tasting cake. The WASC is a decorator's go-to white cake recipe as well as the 'new' traditional wedding cake recipe (I know there are still some hard core out there who still want fruit cake!) but generally this is the cake modern brides want. It's hearty enough for carving and using in large tiered cakes, but soft and moist enough that there is no compromise on taste.
This recipe is 100% from scratch; many WASC recipe's are modified box mixes..generally those are for home bakers. This recipe is from a professional kitchen, and scaled down to be used at home. It should make one 8" round cake..but can be scaled up or down to suit what pan size you are using. Ingredients:
