The drip on this cake was made from a ganache recipe using Nestle White Morsels, heavy whipping cream, and Vivid Green food gel by GSA.  I usually use real white chocolate to make the drip, but I had some Nestle morsels in the pantry so I decided to use them.  The drip recipe is just 175 grams of morsels and 1/3 cup of heavy cream (70 grams) warmed in the microwave at 30 second intervals till melted.  The ganache came out a little oily looking and a little thin, but it looked okay once it was set.  The green color came out a very vivid shade and exactly matched the ribbons on the little bottles of Patron.  The ganache did look a little translucent, and in hindsight I should have added some Bright White Food Gel to make the color more opaque.  But, hey,  live and learn.

To decorate the cake I used some little bottles of Silver Patron, some green Macarons filled with buttercream laced with lime juice, tequila and Margarita salt,  and some cake balls made from my Slutty Rum Brownie recipe.  I used this cake pop press to form the balls, and coated them in Ghirardelli White Melting Wafers. 

All-in-all this was a really boozy cake - good thing there were no kids at the party.


Happy Decorating,

Carol
