Cake bakers...
Is there a trick to neatly icing the cut sides of a cake?? I'm thinking of cutting out a shape from a sheet cake for DD2's birthday, but in the past I recall times I tried to decorate cut areas and ended up with a mess o' crumbs mixed in the frosting.
How does one avoid tearing up the cut edges and also get a smooth finish?
Thanks in advance!
Re: Cake bakers...
A few things...
If your icing is tearing up the sdies of the cake, it is too thick. Thin it with some milk and that will help.
You can do a crumb coat. That is just a thin layer of icing that seals in the loose crumbs. Do the crumb coat and let it crust over. You should then have a crumb-free surface to finish frosting.
