I need suggestions on how to successfully crumb a sheet cake after the sides have been trimmed into a shape. I am making a cake shaped like a treble clef, and I'll be using cream cheese icing. I usually have difficulty getting the icing to stay on the sides of a trimmed cake due to all the crumbs. Help!!

Place your cake in the freezer for about 1/2 hour.
I "trim" and "carve" cakes all the time as I don't have many pans, and I just bake them, let them cool, then place them in the freezer overnight (tightly wrapped of course). Then I carve them the next day and use the big icing tip most of the time. It works really well. Good luck.
