Cake
Frosting Tips
- Let your completely cooled cake rest in
an airtight container a day or overnight
before icing it.
- Use a cake leveler or a serrated knife
to cut off mounded top of cooked cake.
Invert cake and use a wide paintbrush to
brush away any crumbs.
- When icing the top of the cake use a lot
of icing. Don't let your spatula touch the
cake.
- After icing the cake, let it rest at
least 15 minutes. Smooth out the cake using
parchment paper. Place the parchment paper
on the cake and gently smooth out the icing.
- Only bought a one layer cake mix? Torte
it. Slice the cake horizontally. Create a
dam with a ring of icing (made by squeezing
icing from a decorating bag through a tip)
on the outside edge of the first half of the
cake. For the filling, use a child's size
container of snack pudding. Spread it inside
the ring of icing. Put the top half of the
cake on and ice as usual.
- Trouble icing the side of a cake? Buy a
bag with a tip made especially for side
icing.

Cake Mix Tips
- Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of Meringue
Powder; it makes the cake rise higher.
- In preparing the cake pans, use a 2 inch
wide paint brush to "paint-on" the vegetable
shortening. Then dust with the flour. If any
area is still shiny, "paint" with more
shortening and dust with flour.
- Don't fill cake pans more than 1/2 full.
- If a recipe calls for milk, try using
one can of Sweetened Condensed Milk with the
regular milk for a richer taste.
