Let's talk about how to get sharp edges
0:02
on a cake like this. You'll need warm
0:03
water, a sharp knife, and a towel or
0:06
paper towel. Dip your knife into the
0:07
water to warm it up, dry it off, and
0:09
then slice through the buttercream
0:11
that's sticking up around the top edge
0:13
of the cake. Your cake does need to be
0:14
chilled before you do this so that the
0:16
buttercream is firm. After slicing off
0:18
chunks around the top edge, use your
0:20
blade to gradually skim over the top
0:22
surface, and this will shave off the top
0:24
layers of buttercream, leaving a
0:25
perfectly smooth surface underneath.
