Posting online, Aysha wrote: 'Make £10 grocery store cake Pinterest-worthy.' To kick off the process, Aysha started by scraping the icing off of the two cakes. She then cut the cakes into smaller circles and used chocolate buttercream to stack them on top of each other. Once this was done, Aysha coated the outside and top of the cake with more of the chocolate buttercream. She then shared her simple hack for the perfect DIY drip and it couldn't be easier. Aysha confirmed that she used melted chocolate, which she applied to the cake using a piping bag, enabling her to get incredibly neat-looking drips.
