How to frost a smooth cake with buttercream frosting

[@auntsusiedo]

You are the first person I've ever seen that uses Viva paper towels to smooth their cakes too! I've done it for 35 years!! It's AMAZING!!! So awesome to see it on here!

[@melissabernadette8552]

I use them also!!! I'm a cake decorator at Walmart and use them for mine!

[@ncarolinacat]

I was taught the same way!

[@bananaface1203]

I'm amazed that the frosting doesn't stick to the paper towel!

[@Jess2008ish]

Do you place the cake in the fridge to harden frosting before using the paper towel??!! Or can you use the paper towel on the fresh wet frosting??

[@nysashaikh2460]

How do you prepare the frosting... How it doesn't stick the paper

[@robertislas3751]

Hi I’m a Team lead at Walmart for the bakery and I recently got thrown in on your cake orders didn’t know nothing came across your video an Did as you said in this video And my cakes came out so amazing and I just wanted to say thank you because if it wasn’t for you my cakes would still be lopsided and uneven now my corners are so nice and I just wanted to say thank you so much this video helped me out !!!!

[@hawtdawg3823]

Are you still decorating cakes at Walmart

[@anandsanghera]

First thing I thought... THAT FROSTING IS SUCH A PRETTY COLOUR

[@ThundermansThunder]

Wow, having exactly the right tools for the job makes all the difference! That is information that is often lacking, too. You have really come up with some wonderful techniques! Love your t-shirt!

[@ViewingInterests36]

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!

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

[@Abcdghii]

Thanks for the tip i wasn't sure if i needed to freeze the cake long or not to much

Its helpful to explain about the crumb coat. When I started frosted cakes, nobody explained the purpose or how exactly to do a crumb coat. You also look like Jennifer Garner.

Step one: buy a cake stand. Step two: if you don’t have a cake stand. Cry

[@Appaddict01]

You can put it on a plate or cookie tray and rotate that. That’s what I did before I bought one. You can also elevate your cake using cans.

This is so beautiful! I'm pretty decent with piping and make a lot of cupcakes, but I don't know why I waited so long to learn how to make a smooth cake. My inspiration is my daughter's longing for a unicorn cake for her 4th birthday. I hope it comes out even half as lovely as yours!
