How to Win at Frosting Layer Cakes:

1. Whatever type of cake you’re making, we’re pretty sure ugly isn’t one them. First, anchor the cake by spreading a dab of frosting in the center of a cardboard round cut slightly larger than the cake; center the first layer of cake onto it. Sugar as insta-glue! Set the round on a rotating cake stand (a Lazy Susan will also work).

2. When spreading the frosting, imagine that you are pushing the filling into place rather than scraping it on as if it were peanut butter on toast. 

3. When applying the final thick coat of frosting to the top and sides, dipping your spatula in hot water will help create a smooth coat.

I’m sorry, I don’t understand the FAIL….   All I see is cake…

    Cool tips, but oh man I would be blessed to receive either of these badass cakes. I’m terrible at icing stuff.
