I saw a reference on another post to the "upside down frosting technique". I have never seen or heard of this before. Will someone please explain this method to me?

This is a a very good tutorial, give it a look!

It is a great method - I tried it once so far and had great results.

Thanks everyone! Wow! This sounds neat. I'll try it on my next cake and let you know how I like it.

Seems I learn something almost everyday on CC. Doh! I think I'm addicted. I had no idea of such a technique. Thanks for asking! I shall try it myself!
