I think I have found heaven with this site!!

Anyway-I have a question-when frosting a chocolate cake with white frosting, how do you keep the chocolate crumbs from showing up on the cake-
If someone can answer this, I would be sooo grateful!!
Thanks!!

Always crumb coat first, let sit for about 10 minutes then continue icing.

I never crumb coat, instead, I use the large icer tip and ice a perfect cake everytime. Good luck!

ok, so you do the first layer and it looks all cruddy with crumbs, let it sit and then do the next layer and it will cover the crumbs?
Thanks

Using the icing tip is also a big help. That way you never really touch the cake. I have used this to crumb coat and had great success with it.

i use the big icing tip. That way you don't waste your time crumb coating ends up perfect everytime.

you can thin your icing SLIGHTLY to do a crumb coat layer. let it crust, about 20 minutes, and it will seal in the crumbs. then, don't let your spatula touch the cake when spreading your icing. also, try wiltons huge icing tip, it is a god send.
