My goodness, everyone!!! How to you smooth buttercream out in between the spaces of a giant number 5 cake?!?!?

Am I missing something?!? Is there an offset spatula that’s super skinny and as long as a barbecue skewer?!?!?! Miniature bench scraper used by elves? Or just a “nobody can see in there, anyway” attitude?

if you're using American bc -- and can get it in there -- fold up an uber clean smooth towel and pat it smooth -- but if no one can see it -- yeah leave it -- you so silly

Yes, there are.  They are used for smoothing the tops of large sheet cakes, and I can't remember where I bought them.
