Tips For Perfectly Frosting A Double-Layer Cake

By Bhavana Verma

Level and Chill the Cakes

After baking, use a serrated knife to flatten out the cake and chill the cake for 30 minutes before frosting to make then firm and easy to work with.

Use a Crumb Coat

Apply a thin layer of frosting on the cake to catch any loose crumbs and lock the crumbs to prevent them from mixing with the final layer.

Utilize the Right Tools

Use a turntable, offset spatula and bench scraper to ensure smooth and even frosting.

Apply Generous Frosting

Don't be stingy with the frosting and apply a generous amount from the top to side to achieve a smooth finish.

Smooth and Chill

After applying the final layer, smoothen it with bench scraper and chill the cake for some time to set everything perfectly.
