[CnD] Frosting cakes
Here's what a friend of mine, Armando had to say about icing cakes. Try spreading the frosting on the cake the best you can without touching, then take a piece of wax paper lay it on the frosting, and then use your hands to feel whether the frosting is even, then just use your hands over the wax paper, and smooth it out much the way you smooth a blanket or a sheet on the bed.
