I use the Melvira method. I used to try the hot spatula method, but since discovering her method (foam paint roller) I have never looked back. |

We are all our worst critics. I have all 3 of Sharon Zamito's DVDs and they are well worth the money spent. I think your best bet is to get her 1st DVD-perfecting the art of buttercream. Good Luck. |

I made a chalkboard cake for teacher appreciation a couple weeks ago. I used the Wilton juniper green. |

I love Sharon's videos, and the Viva paper towel method and just bought a high density roller to try the Melvira method. |

It was my very first cake, so I'm trying not to be hard on myself, but on the other hand, I'm a perfectionist, & I'm pretty frustrated.Is there some kind of special trick to it?I used the little icing spatula, but I just failed miserably
