How to frost a smooth cake with buttercream frosting
Рет қаралды 4,036,597
Күн бұрынToday’s tutorial is all about how to frost a smooth cake. Getting that nice, smooth finish when icing a cake can take some practice, but I have been asked so many times about how I get my icing so smooth, I’ve finally put together some instructions that I hope will be helpful. Just remember you have to be patient. My first cake did not look like my current cakes. It took practice - and the right tools.
See my in depth tutorial for how to get smooth sides and crisp edges with buttercream frosting - no fondant! For the full tutorial and links to my favorite tools - www.lifeloveandsugar.com/2015...

After the crumb coat freeze the cake for 10-15 minutes so the crumb coat will stay and not pull off from the cake :D

I feel like you should start right from the start, like from cutting and levelling the cake to the final coat.

I've been a professional pastry worker for years now and I have to say this lady is reteaching me the easier, better way to ice a cake. I've been using nothing but bow knives and off set spatulas for this job for many years. I think it is time for me to revisit the ateco icing smoother; take it out of retirement! Thank you!
