Everytime I use the cake triangle to get ridges for the sides of my cake, my buttercream icing gums up. Does the icing need to be softer and thicker? What's the secret to getting the icing uniform.

If using crusting buttercream you have to do it right away before it starts crusting up....otherwise the crust will mess up the pattern as you smooth the sides with the triangle.

It's hard to describe. I guess I could say it rolld up behind the triangle. I have a hard time getting the icing uniform. I tried wetting the tool. Maybe I'm holding the tool wrong.
