How do you get the thick layer of frosting in the middle? Mine always squishes down once I put on the second layer. Also your layers are so big compared to the way mine turn out.  You use an 8″ pan and 2 cake box mixes? How far do you fill the pan?
THanks, Amber

Hi Trudy,

This is my routine so you can use as a guideline. You might want to practice until you find what works best for you and your schedule.

If I have a cake that is due on Saturday, I make the frosting and tint it on Thursday so its ready when I want to decorate. The cake also gets baked on Thursday night and wrapped in plastic wrap (usually a double layer) and then it gets wrapped in foil and placed on the counter. Then I clean up my baking mess and go to bed.

The decorating takes place on Friday morning and the cake gets delivered early Saturday. Decorating on Friday morning usually allows time for me to correct any mistakes without staying up all night stressing.

Hope this helps!

The cake is on a cake board that has been cut the same size as the cake. Stick an offset spatula under the board to lift the cake so you can place it on a pretty stand. 😉

Hi Kelly! Dirty ice and crumb coat are the same thing. But doesn’t ‘dirty ice’ sound more fun than ‘crumb coat?’ 😉

I’ve never heard the term dirty ice before – is it the same as a crumb coat, or is this the final cake?
