How do i get my frosting to look smooth and what brand is the better frosting [email protected] thanks

Do a crumb coat, freeze it and ice it again.

You can use the Viva towel method. Look it up on the search. HTH.

The foam roller method is great, you can look it up on here, too. Author Melvira. Also, a hot metal spatula will work. What do you mean by "brand of frosting?" The recipe or canned frosting?
