Frosting helps keep the cake moist. It is important to have your cake cold and free from crumbs before it is frosted. When frosting layer cakes, lay four strips of waxed paper on a plate or doilie as illustrated. Invert one layer, spread filling evenly over this, then place the second layer on top and frost. If you are using a thin icing, you may start by pouring the icing on the top and then work to the sides. In using a heavier icing such as a marshmallow or buttercream, we prefer to start on the sides first and then go to the top of the cake as illustrated. The spatula may be dipped in hot water if a very smooth effect is desired. Here are a few effects that may be obtained by follow- ing the simple instructions. |
