Here are three cake decorating tools you
0:01
already have. Number one is a knife,
0:04
which you dip into a cup or a glass of
0:06
hot water or run under a hot tap, and
0:08
then dry it and slice around the top
0:10
edge of your cake after chilling it in
0:12
the fridge for about 30 minutes. You'll
0:13
create sharp, crisp top edges all around
0:16
your cake. Next, parchment paper or wax
0:18
paper. Scrunch up a piece and then spoon
0:20
some melted chocolate on top and spread
0:22
it evenly over the whole piece of paper.
0:25
Lift it up, wrap it around a chilled
0:27
frosted cake, and then put it into the
0:29
fridge for about an hour. Peel off the
0:30
paper and you'll leave a textured
0:32
chocolate collar around your cake. And
0:34
the third tool you already have will
0:36
target these annoying air bubbles in
0:38
buttercream. Scoop up about a third of
0:40
your buttercream, put it into the
0:42
microwave for 10 seconds, and then pour
0:44
it back into your bowl of buttercream
0:45
and stir it until the consistency is
0:47
perfectly silky smooth. Follow British
