I am so addicted to watching Ace of Cakes. i think they are awesome; but I dont understand how they carve cakes? When you carve a cake into shape of whatever are these cakes frozen? If not how do they keep them from falling apart? thanks in advance
Everyone has different styles... You'll probably get lots of opinions on how to do it. For instance, I never carve frozen cake and I usually use my tapered angled spatula for the carving. Only sometimes do I use a knife. You have to do a little experimenting and see what works best for you.

I am one that likes to use mostly frozen cakes and serrated knifes (anything from a bread knife to a steak knife depending on the size and detail I need to do)
I doubt Duff's cakes are frozen, he advertises "Fresh, Never Frozen"
I have done it both ways. Usually depends on how much time I have. It's amazing what you can do with short notice.
I've never used frozen cake, and I have always used any sharp knife - though I'm going to try the angled spatula to see if I like it better (thanks for the idea Deanna!)... I just wanted to add that sometimes if I make a mistake, depending on the cake, I can usually glue a piece back on with icing... I try to always cut-off less than I need to, just that common-sense rule - and it's really fun!
