I made my own birthday cake for my birthday today (see picture below). I couldn't for the life of me get the the buttercream smooth. Would it have helped to thin the icing or do I need to try another recipe (I use Wilton's class buttercream, thin consistency). Any hints or tips would be welcome. As funny as it sounds I'm almost out of my element with buttercream. I've used fondant so much lately I'm out of practice with buttercream. I've only been decorating since June, so I don't have much experience.

BTW...it wasn't supposed to be crooked, any tips there would be nice too.

Thanks all.

Sorry that didn't post. I was dealing with grumpy kids and must have forgot. Let's try that again.

Happy Birthday to the other Sept 14 birthdays. Isn't it a great day?

Finished my daughter's cake, and took a picture, and when I went to move it, my hand slipped and went into the side of the cake! Thank goodness for extra icing. Now I'm off to get the rest of the food for 45 kids! The only party when they could ALL come.
