In the articles section is a description of the method to smooth crusting buttercream with a paper towel.

Here's a link to the Faux Fondant (Viva paper towel) article:

(Disregrd the plastic bottle portion, unless you're making a contoured edge.)

Here's a super (multi-link) thread on smoothing frosting:
(Includes Melvira method, using icing tip and more)

I personally like the viva method the best. I tried other ones and I just couldn't do it. I know everyone's different

I still have to try melvira's method...but I think the viva method works great for now!
