okay, besides eyeballing how leveled and smooth your BC icing is when you ice the cake...is there another "secret" of getting the edges so clean and crisp looking so that i can apply my fondant strips...do you use a carpenters level? icon_lol.gif

please help me...

gracias

I have tried the upside down technique and generally it was more trouble than the perceived benefit--at least for me. But my freezer is downstairs so I was annoyed at runnign up and down the steps.
