Fist of all I use Serious Cakes buttercream recipe. It's mostly butter with only 2/3 cup Crisco. I use a warm spatula to smooth it the best I can and then I use the Viva paper towel method to smooth it the rest of the way. I always have some air bubbles though...I think they give the cake character. :) Here is a link to Serious Cakes video on how to get a smooth cake... http://www.youtube.com/user/SeriousCakes#p/u/41/iqvL4zhVbE8

How do you get your buttercream soo smooth? I'm having issues with mine not being as smooth as I'd like it & then it seperates quite often so in my bags I can see all the white spots of crisco, very frustrating
