Tips For Perfectly Frosting A Double-Layer Cake
Frosting a double-layer cake might be challenging when you need to keep the balance between cream and crumb to enhance the flavour. But with the right techniques and tools, you can master it in only a few tries. Here are some tips to perfectly add frosting to your double-layer cake.
1.Level and Chill the Cakes
After baking, use a serrated knife to flatten out the cake and chill the cake for 30 minutes before frosting to make then firm and easy to work with.
2.Use a Crumb Coat
Apply a thin layer of frosting on the cake to catch any loose crumbs and lock the crumbs to prevent them from mixing with the final layer.
3.Utilize the Right Tools
Use a turntable, offset spatula and bench scraper to ensure smooth and even frosting.
4.Apply Generous Frosting

After applying the final layer, smoothen it with bench scraper and chill the cake for some time to set everything perfectly.
