Pink and blue swirled cotton candy layer cake topped with drips of pink and blue ganache and fluffy cotton candy.

This Cotton Candy Drip Cake will be a hit at your next birthday party, baby shower, or any big celebration.

Cotton candy is spun sugar but it has a uniquely sweet flavor which is imparted in this cake.

Each of the marbled pink and blue cake layers is flavored using cotton candy oil and is moist and delicious. The frosting is flavored using cotton candy oil too.

This cake was so much fun to decorate. I frosted the cake using white icing and then added dabs of pink and blue before smoothing out the surface.

I colored white chocolate ganache using pink and blue food coloring and dripped it down the sides of the cake.

Then, I scooped up all the excess pink, blue, and white icing into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and piped a border around the cake. The final touch was adding cotton candy and some swirly pops to the top and cotton candy crunch around the bottom.

I love that this cake is as pretty on the inside as it is on the outside.
