Leveling A Cake After Frosting
Decorating By Dr_Hfuhruhurr Updated 10 Apr 2015 , 5:28pm by cakeemewithyou
Hi folks,
I'm curious if anyone has developed a method to quickly level the top of a cake after frosting. I always level and tort my layer cakes, but getting the top to be level after frosting is my Achilles heel. I'm aware of and have used the upside-down method, and it's great, but sometimes I need to frost a cake really quickly and I don't have time to stick it in the fridge to let it harden.
It occurs to me that it might be possible to frost it extra high and then use a cake leveler, but I'm not sure it would work. Does anyone have any advice or tips for getting a crisp, level top on a freshly-iced cake (without taking any time to pop it in the fridge to harden)?
Thanks!
I would encourage you to spend the $$$ and invest in an Agbay leveler. It will pay for itself in a very short period of time. After struggling for years (literally - I've been decorating cakes for over 30 years), and trying knives and two other levelers from a well-known source, I gave in and purchased the Agbay. It made an immediate difference in my cakes and I have used the original blade for over 5 years. Still sharp as a razor.
