Just take your dye and mix it with some vodka or everclear, or lemon extraxt.  Then you’ll just take brush, maybe a medium blush brush (don’t know all the makeup brushes, but usually next in size to the blush brush), and keep carefully dabbing the color on in layers until you get that drip.

That’s how I would I would do it, anyways.  Good luck! That cake is beautiful, and I hope that you’ll let us know when you post pictures!

As KitchenSix said, these drips are painted on using either gel colors thinned with alcohol (or clear extract) or petal dusts mixed with alcohol to a water color consistency.  To me, it appears the drips are not actually drips, but painted to look like drips, which would offer more control.
