Guidelines to be Remembered in Frosting Cakes
Keep in mind the following when frosting a cake:
a. Cool the cake completely before frosting.
b. Brush off crumbs on sides of cake before frosting.
c. If necessary, trim off top of cake to make it even.
d. Invert top side of cake on cake plate, so that the bottom part is the one
that is frosted.
e. lf there is only one piece to be frosted, the cake may be sliced through
the middle horizontally to produce 2 layers.
f. A lazy Susan is very convenient to use when frosting. Rotate it as you
frost the cake.
g. When making meringue, make sure the egg whites are free from yolk.
Presence of yolk Will not give full volume.
h. Sift sugar to free it from lumps before adding to the butter or meringue.
i. ln mixing Whipped cream, be sure that the cream, beater and mixing
bowls are chilled or cooled. This will produce the desired volume.
