I have been wanting to get the boy version of that book! I feel like a glean so many ideas from your site that I hope this is my chance to give back a little. To make the cake smoother - once the icing has crusted a little, dip a spatula in very hot water and *quickly* wipe over the surface. This will smooth it out. You can also take a paper towel with a pretty design (like polka dots)and after the icing crusts, lay the paper towel over it and gently press it into the surface. When you peel the paper towel back, the icing will be smoother and will have the transfer of dots (or whatever the pattern is) from the paper towel. Hope this helps!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-75333142998847557062007-11-06T22:12:00.000-05:002007-11-06T22:12:00.000-05:00You are so creative!
