Frosting Tips
Here are the crowning touches—the simple, easy ways to add glamour to your cakes
Designing and executing a pretty decorative finish for a handsome cake is pure fun—and certainly worth the trouble in the extra pleasure that it gives. Do it when you won’t be disturbed and remember planning is half the battle. If the plan is elaborate, draw it on paper first and then mark the important spots with toothpicks set lightly in place after the cake is frosted. They will serve as guides and insure even spacing.
Be sure cake is thoroughly cold (see [inside back cover]) before starting to frost. Brush off loose crumbs and trim off over-browned or ragged edges. Have decorations ready to use.
