How Do I Get Buttercream Smooth?!?
Decorating By RisasCakes Updated 24 Jun 2010 , 6:08pm by RisasCakes
I have tried the wet spatula technique & changed frosting consitancy however, it still seems like I am not able to make the cake smooth!
Does anyone have some tips for me? Should I try a different type of spatula?
I use the paper towel method, wait for the buttercream to crust then use a paper towel to smooth it out. Everyone I have talked to suggests using Viva paper towels becasue they don't have a print on them....I couldn't find them anywhere and ended up using parchment paper...works preety good, I use that for my buttercream finishes.
HTH
VIVA PAPER TOWELS DOES THE TRICK EVERYTIME.. YOU CAN FIND THEM AT WAL MART I FIND THEM AT MY DOLLAR GENERAL AND KROGER
Ooooo i just googled that method and found this
