Has anyone noticed a change in the paper towels? The last two packages I have bought aren't as thick as they use to be. Not soft at all anymore.
I have to ask -- what's the deal about Viva towels? Do they just not have any pattern or could you use any old paper towel but people like saying Viva? I've never seen the Viva brand here, so I'd like to know.

Viva doesn't have a texture, so you end up with a smooth cake. They feel more like fabric to me. Any paper towel with texture is going to put that same texture on your cake. I have seen cakes where that was done on purpose so it just depends on what you want your final finish to be.
Yeah, I just used them and they are rougher. I wish they would go back to the softer ones. Maybe it's just a bad batch!

place the paper towel on your crusted icing and rub with fondant smoother to smooth your buttercream. I think there is an article on here about how to do it.
I feel really dumb to ask this question but if I do not ask I will not know. What is crusted icing?
does a paper towel work better than using a wooden roller? I'd heard the paper towel thing before, but have always used a roller---and sometimes it causes more damage than it fixes. I just can't seem to get it seasoned enough not to stick.

I actually use my roller when I use the paper towel method. That seems to work best for me.
I stopped buying Viva some time ago. The sheets are different nowadays. They're thinner and shorter so you have to use a lot more of them to clean up spills and such.
Plus Viva here has a texture on both sides now too. Pretty usless for smoothing.
Sparkle is textured. I use the bumpy side if I want a textured icing. I use the other if I want it smoother.
