Quick and Easy Cake Decorating Tip

If you are short on time and need a quick and easy way to smooth out your cake's frosting, try this simple trick.

Bake and frost your cake as usual. Once it is frosted, let the cake sit for a few minutes so the frosting can stiffen up. Then get a paper towel. Use one that does not have a quilted decoration (Viva works well). Lay it over the top of the cake and run your fingers over the paper towel, smoothing out the frosting. Then gently lift the paper towel. Do the same thing to the sides of the cake.

When your done, your cake will look like you applied fondant.
