I emailed you some good information. Let me know if you don't receive it.

: Is there a trick to getting a nice even coat of frosting on the outside edges of a layer cake? I frequently have problems frosting the sides of wedding cakes. Many times you can see a "shadow" where the 2 cakes meet, or I have too much frosting. I will then try to remove some with a bench scraper which often leaves places that don't have enough frosting. It takes me forever to get the cake frosted nicely. I have Wilton and Magic Line pans. I always put the bottom of each layer facing up. I'm wondering if putting the tops of each layer together would help with the shadow. Could people share how they position their cakes, and I'd love to hear ideas how to frost the sides of the cake so it's even. Thanks, Amy
