Here's my favorite hack for impossibly
0:02
smooth frosting. After you spread
0:03
buttercream all over the cake, the top
0:05
and the sides, scrape around a few
0:07
times. I like to use a metal cake
0:09
scraper for this, and you'll notice gaps
0:11
in usually the top edge. So, fill those
0:13
in by spreading on more buttercream, and
0:15
then here's where the hack comes in. Use
0:16
a hair dryer, a blowtorch, or hot water
0:18
to heat the edge of your metal cake comb
0:20
so that it's warm, not hot. Pinch to
0:22
check. And then scrape around your cake
0:24
again, and you'll notice all of the
0:25
shallow imperfections disappear leaving
0:27
perfectly smooth frosting behind.
