  • This is a detailed tutorial showing step by step how to get perfectly smooth frosting and sharp edges on your buttercream cakes! I use an offset spatula and a bench scraper (also called a frosting scraper or icing scraper) to smooth the buttercream frosting on the sides and top of the cake.

    This video is so helpful! I've been baking cakes for years and have never gotten that smooth, sharp base layer of frosting. I've made 2 cakes since watching this though, and it's like a night and day difference. Best looking cakes I've ever done! Thank you!
