I got my cake smoother faster than ever before! I bought a metal smoother and decorating comb by Ateco from my local supplier. I then put a large bowl of water in the microwave got it just hot enough not to burn me and dipped and shook off the smooth side. FAST!! I had the best results with this method. When I use viva my cakes look too rounded on top. This gives you a professional bakery type finish. Won't go back to any other method.

Also ( remember I'm a newbie) I asked for the largest box that my supplier had and was told that I needed to combine 2 boxes. My masonite board is 17 by 19 for a 11x15 cake. She sold me 2 / 14x18.5 boxes and told me to leave front of both opened and put cake in one and slide the other box under the first.Then staple the loose sides together. You then tent the top (tall cake) by folding te two tops together so they meet. Staple loose sides again . I always wondered how to make a box large enough for a two tiered cake. Magic ! Soon as I can figure out how to upload pictures I'll show you what I mean.

Sorry If I rambled. I'm just sooo excited!
