Hi there,

Crumb coating is putting a very thin layer of icing on your cake just to keep the crumbs in. After that layer crusts, you put a thicker coat of icing on your cake and you shouldn't have problems with crumbs in it. thumbs_up.gif

EXACTLY, PinkPanther!!!

I have also used strained and heated apricot jam [with a grand marnier chaser] to seal in the crumbs. Some people like the apricot taste and others do not. birthday.gif
