How To Fill-In Areas With Icing And Smooth
Decorating By lauriec Updated 27 Apr 2006 , 1:14pm by jen1977
After transferring a pattern to a cake, how do you fill-in the areas with your choice of color and make it perfectly smooth. I did a 1/2 sheet cake for DH's work (he works for the Postal Service) and transferred a pattern of a postage stamp on the cake, then used the smooth side of the basketweave tip to fill in the areas. I used a flat, soft paintbrush to try and smooth out the filled in areas, but maybe I didn't let it crust over long enough. It wasn't very smooth at all and I don't want to make this mistake again. This is my first time to try and fill-in a pattern on a cake. I'd appreciate any advice and help.
Here's some pics of the cake:
