Ok, this was my first attempt of the non-crusting BC. How do you get the icing smoothe? And, does this type of BC need to be refrigerated?

I smooth my icing with a spatula that I dip into hot water. I know that is the old fashioned way to do it but boy does it work good. I try the paper towel method but it just doens't work for me, my icing gets stuck to the paper towel all the time.

I done a wedding cake over the weekend and I used the Faux Fondant Buttercream II recipe and it is awesome. I smoothed it with a viva and a plastic scraper that I bought at Wal-mart for $.96.

Thanks for the tips. I usually use the crusting BC with the paper towell method but this was all butter and very soft. I'll try the hot water thing next time.
