Cake frosting tips:

• Always cut the rounded top off your cake.
• Don’t forget to dirty ice! (This is just a thin layer of icing to collect the crumbs). Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before adding another layer of icing.
• Get your tools warm before you work with them. Cold tools will lead to messy icing and the cake tearing. Putting words on your cake?
• Trace your design out first with a toothpick, and then go over the lines with colored frosting or gel.
