Thanks so much for the feedback Bernadette! I guess the trick is take time and don't rush it? I've never decorated a frozen cake before but I think I may give it a try. sharp corners really just finish it off so nicely!

Thanks

Carlette :)

Hi Carlette,

To get thiose sharp cormers, I first apply a crumb coat and smmoth the corners using my offset cake spatula. I then put the cake in the freezer for a couple of hours. I then apply another coat of buttercream over frozen cake, smoothing out the corners. It just a lot of smoothing but working with a frozen crumb coated cake helps. I have dome sharp corners with out freezing the ake, it just takes more time.

I love using ganache as a filling and to frost a cake. I always cover the cake with cooled ganache to fill in so I have a smooth surface to coat.  When I pour the warm ganach over the cake it gives it a clean finish...no holes and nice edges to round cakes and sharp corners on square ones. 

 

Thanks for your inquiry,

Bernadette

this is so neat! stunning

How do you achieve such sharp corners? do you make use of chocolate ganache?
