Cake decorating frosting - smooth icing with royal icing




Here are the step by step instructions on how to frost a cake with royal icing:



- Spread a generous amount of the icing on the top surface of the cake. Smoothen with a spatula. For best results, hold the spatula lightly pressing on the icing and rotate your turntable without stopping until the top is really smooth. Gently move the spatula away.

- Scrap off excess icing that has accumulated on the outside of the cake diameter. Leave the cake aside to set. Once set, you can proceed to cover the sides of the cake.

- Spread icing thickly on the sides of the cake with a spatula. Holding the spatula upright at 90 degrees with the blade slanted at 45 degrees from the side surface of the cake, rotate the turntable without stopping to smoothen the sides of the cake. Gently scrap of excess icing that has moved to the top surface of your cake. Leave to set before decorating the cake.


If you are covering a square cake, use the same procedure, but frost each side of the cake at a time and wait until the icing is set before moving on to the next side of the cake.
