Will Be Getting Ready To Start This Cake This Week

and was wondering if this is the process I need to do it in.
As many of you know I am making this huge giant sized crayon box cake and will be using the star tip for just about all of it.
Do I just need to but a thin layer of butter cream on it first and then star tip it all? Or do I just star tip without a bottom layer of bc first?
I think I would do a thin crumb coat just to seal the cake and keep it fresh. If it is as big as you say it is (and you are star tipping it), you may not get it all done at one sitting. The coat of icing will keep your cake from drying out until you are able to continue to work on it. IMHO...
It couldn't hurt to do a thin layer of tinted bc the color of the box. That way if your stars aren't just the way you like them, you can't see spots of cake between them. Can't wait to see the picture you post of this one. Good luck. 
thank you for the advice.
I will do a crumb coat as you call it and then star tip it.
I am putting together two roasting pans side by side, so I can guarantee you I won't be able to do it all in one sitting.lol
