Do You Ice The Back Of The House Pan?

I have an order to make a Christmas cake for a friend of mine, she wants a nativity scene. I was planning to use the house pan for the manger, and I have some little nativity figures from Walgreens. I've made this house pan cake several times for family, but I've never frosted the back side of the cake because I always lay it on it's back to cut the cake. Does anyone else do this or do you frost the back??
I agree--if it's standing up, I'd frost the back. It will look nice and keep the cake fresh.
One thing, if you've never stood that house up before, (and let me just say I had several that I wanted to stand up that fell over!), it's important to use a firm cake recipe, and it helps to cool that cake upright--even if you have to prop it up.
Good luck--can't wait for the pics!
Thanks Chris & Jamie! I really appreciate your input. Looks like I'll be needing a little more buttercream when I make this one! LOL
