Frosting a cake is yet another step to add flavour and beauty to your cake. But it is a process that needs a lot of love and care.  Frosting’s can be of a variety of flavours and you can learn to make them too. But right here we have the way to frost a cake with the classical butter cream frosting. The key to frost a cake well is to allow it to cool and settle.
Here’s how.

Things you will need

• A napkin or a small tablecloth
• A spatula
• Frosting
• A wire stand
• A board
• Parchment paper
• Lots of care

The process of frosting a cake

• Put a towel/napkin or the piece of cloth over the place where you will be frosting the cake.
• Now keep the wire stand on top of it. Keep your board on it.
• Turn the cake upside down on the board.
• Let the freshly baked cool off completely or you will have crumbs falling while you are at work and looking after the crumbs can be another task. So it is best to let the cake cool off and settle. Give it about 30 minutes if you want. Turn the fans on.
• Once you find that the cake has cooled off you can start applying the frosting on the sides.
• Take some frosting on the spatula and apply it like the way you apply butter on bread. Keep going smoothly. If there are any crumbs falling still, apply some frosting on them and let them stay.
• Once the sides are done you can put a nice dollop of frosting on top of the cake. You can pat it with the spatula and flatten it sideways.
• Keep adding and flattening. Now work the same way on the sides on top of the cake.
• If you want absolutely smooth frosting then take a parchment paper and keep it on top of the cake. Flatten the paper with your hands. Do not apply too much pressure just try to make it even. Once you think you are done peel off the parchment paper to find a smoothly layered frosting. You can try this on the sides too.
• If you are adding another layer of cake then add frosting on top of the cake and flatten out sideways. Add frosting on the sides but not too much. Now place the next layer on the first layer. Apply frosting on the sides now.
• Use the spatula to fill spaces in the middle of the layers with frosting making it an even looking cake.
• Once again use the parchment paper on top of the layer and give it a smooth finish.

Remember it is important to let the cake cool off because of you frosting a cake when it is warm you will find frosting melting away all over and making the cake soggy.

So let it cool off and create different frosting for different cakes.
