I’m pretty bad at frosting a cake. Really bad. But I have a trick to make your cake look a lot more professional. Use a hair dryer to smooth out the clumpy icing. Gently blow it onto the cake (use the high heat setting but the low-blow setting!) and when the icing starts to get shiny, turn it off. Then, use a spatula to go over the cake, gently flattening the icing. Works like a charm!

When you’re getting ready for a party, put some plastic wrap under your tablecloth. That way, if any of your guests spill their drink, your wood table will be fine. (works on end tables, too)
