A Cake Decorating Tip

Cake Decorating Tip 

Stop the annoying cake slide with a simple trick... A damp cloth has always worked for me, but you can also purchase those foam sticky shelf liners at Walmart for this. Sometimes frosting the little cakes is more of a challenge than the larger ones.

Frosting a cake well takes practice. A LOT of practice. Always crumb coat your cakes first, also called dirty icing. This will hold any loose crumbs in place when you go to put the final frost on.

Another trick to keep in mind is to not try to make it look pretty too soon.  This will lead to frustration and a big mess. Put a lot of frosting on, way more than you need then spread it on to cover the cake. This is when you start to clean it up. Go back and scrape the excess off little by little until it is smooth.

If you are a beginner than you may want to try using a comb to make your sides look nice.

 

Happy Cake Decorating!
