In Reply to: Icing A Cake posted by Melissa on March 04, 2009 at 17:10:48:

I do what Mary K does with a frozen cake that has been cut to shape except I don't cover with plastic wrap after the crumb coat is applied. I just leave it a room temp uncovered until the cake is thawed and the icing is dry to the touch. Then I apply the final coat of icing . This eliminates the extra step of letting it dry after the wrapping is removed.

: I was wondering if there is something out there to put on a cake after it has been cut or a certain type of icing. I was using a 12x18 pan & had to cut two of them to make a heart. I was using buttercream frosting that I thinned down. When I tried to apply it to the areas that I had cut the icing would not stick & once I forced it on there then I had lots of crumbs. I let it dry and then I had to apply more icing to cover the crumbs. Is there anything I can do to avoid this??

Thanks,
Melissa
