You've probably heard about drip cakes — it's hard to scroll Instagram or Pinterest without seeing them lately. The technique basically turns cakes into works of art by carefully spooning ganache on top and letting it "drip" down the sides of the buttercream-frosted (or even naked) cake. Katherine Sabbath's neon cakes — like her upside-down ice cream cone creation — have become some of the most popular, but the latest iteration on the trend literally speaks to our soul. If you've ever had one too many glasses of red wine (*raises hand*), you'll feel this cake.

Chelsey White, the blogger and self-taught baker behind the cakes on Chelsweets, created this red wine design, which is appropriately called the "One Glass Too Many" cake. SOML.
It seems intimidating, but you could probably pull it off yourself at home — just maybe not after a glass or two. Here's how it's done: After baking a red-and-white marbled vanilla cake and letting it cool, she layers and covers it with buttercream frosting, just like a classic layer cake.
Then, she creates a mountain of frosting on top and presses the wine glass into the base of it.
Using a squeeze bottle, she pours red-tinted white chocolate ganache on top, letting it drizzle down the sides. Then she spreads it on top of the frosting underneath the glass, so it looks like the ganache is seeping out, using a small spatula.
The end result is worth raising a glass to.
