Tips Needed On Getting Ccbc Smooth....please Help
Decorating By Lita829 Updated 20 Jan 2010 , 10:24pm by Lita829
I've made several carrot cakes but I always have a problem getting the cream cheese buttercream smooth. I am able to do it with regular buttercream (the one with shortening and 10X sugar) but, for the life of me, I can never get the CCBC smooth 
.
Does anyone have any tips that may help? Any responses are welcome and greatly appreciated 
have you tried a wet spatula?
personally when i have a decorated cake that is carrot or red velvet, i fill with cream cheese and ice in buttercream.. only gets iced in cream cheese if it's a dessert cake

Thanks for the response I did try the hot spatula on it but it still wouldn't get completely smooth. I may have to do the same thing...only use CCBC on dessert or undecorated cakes.
i used cream cheese icing on the outside of a cake 1 time! they loved it, I hated it!
I have found that adding some meringue powder and refrigerating the cake help quite a bit. I can never get it as smooth as regular buttercream but those who like the taste usually don't mind a few imperfections. You have to work fast or keep refrigerating as you smooth if using the VIVA paper towels; otherwise they will stick and make it look worse instead of better. Always worth trying again.
