3. Place one cake layer on a cake board or serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top.
4. Repeat the process with the remaining cake layers, stacking them on top of each other with a layer of frosting in between.
5. Once the cake is fully stacked, apply a thin layer of frosting on the sides and top to create a crumb coat. This will help the final layer of frosting adhere better.
6. Refrigerate the cake for about 30 minutes to allow the crumb coat to set.
7. After the crumb coat has set, apply a final layer of frosting to the sides and top of the cake, ensuring it is smooth and even.
8. To create the dripping effect, take a small amount of icing or ganache and gently pour it over the edges of the cake, allowing it to drip down naturally.
9. Continue dripping the icing or ganache around the entire perimeter of the cake until the desired effect is achieved.
10. Decorate the top of the cake with sprinkles or other decorative elements as desired.
 
=== Variations ===
 
There are several variations of the dripping cake technique that can be explored:
 
* '''Chocolate Drip Cake''': Instead of using icing, melted chocolate is used to create the dripping effect. This variation is particularly popular for chocolate-flavored cakes.
* '''Colored Drip Cake''': Gel food coloring can be added to the icing or ganache to create vibrant and colorful drips.
* '''Flavored Drip Cake''': Different flavors can be added to the icing or ganache to complement the cake flavor. For example, adding raspberry extract to white chocolate ganache for a vanilla cake.
