This easy 3-ingredient white chocolate ganache drizzle is my go-to drip for all Amycakes Bakery cakes and cupcakes. It's the perfect decoration for all types of cake and cupcake flavors.
The Ingredients
This white chocolate drip only contains 3 ingredients--heavy cream, white chocolate chips, and bright white candy melts. The chips provide the white chocolate flavor, and the bright white candy melts are what make the drip white instead of ivory (that way the color pops off your cake or cupcake creations). If needed, you can substitute all white chocolate chips for the candy melts, and your drizzle will be ivory in color.

📖 Recipe & Step-by-Step Instructions
Simple White Chocolate Drip
Equipment
Ingredients
White Ganache Drizzle
- 42 grams (¼ cup) White Chocolate Chips
- 42 grams (¼ cup) "Bright White" or "Super White" Candy Melts ((or substitue with more white chocolate chips-it just will be ivory in color))
- 2 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
Instructions
- Combine all white ganache ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat in the microwave at 50% power for 20-30 second increments.
- Whisk for 30 seconds to one minute in between each heat. (It should only take two to three heats in the microwave. Lots of whisking will melt your white chocolate and candy melts faster and prevent them from overcooking in the microwave).
- Drizzle the melted ganache down the sides of your cake or cupcakes using a spoon or squeeze bottle. Store any leftover ganache in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, and reheat in the microwave at 50% power to use again as a drizzle.

I want to put a bright white glaze over my wedding cake because it will have a tiramisu-style layered spongecake with mascarpone frosting that I worry will be weighed down by a white fondant. I plan to make a second tester cake soon and will try this glaze and report back. Also I just discovered your website which I’ll explore more too. Thank you for this recipe!
