The thought of icing a baked cake can make you horrified and run to the nearest bakery. However, topping your favorite cake with a perfectly smooth layer of icing is easy! Try one of these three methods for a perfectly glazed cake and treat your beautiful pastries to all your friends and family.

Steps

Start of glazing

    Let the pie cool. The biggest mistake you can make when frosting a cake is using a hot cake and cold frosting. If the cake is even a little warm, it will still melt the icing, which will then spread and wet the top layer, making it raw. In addition, the cold glaze will not spread smoothly enough, and a lot of crumbs will form.

    • You must definitely wait for the moment when both the cake and the icing are at the same temperature - room temperature. You can wait several hours, but this is necessary to obtain a completely smooth layer of glaze.
    • If the cake is cooling on a work surface, place a medium-sized slice of sandwich bread on top of the cake. This will keep it from drying out and help keep it fresh.
  1. Flatten the pie. When you bake the cake, it will most likely rise in the center in the form of a small dome. This is perfectly normal, but it makes it difficult to apply the icing in an even, smooth layer, as it will slide off the convex surface of the cake. To avoid this, take a serrated knife (preferably for cutting the pie) and cut a thin horizontal layer from the top of the pie so that the top and bottom of the pie are parallel to each other.

    • If possible, cut off the top layer of the cake while it is still in the baking dish. This will help you get a smoother surface.
    • If your cake has multiple layers, cut off the top layer of any cakes you have baked.
  2. Assemble the pie. When the cake is cool and the top is even, prepare it for icing by placing it on a round piece of cardboard or a cake dish. Lay strips of wax paper about 2 inches (5 cm) wide around the edges of the dish under the bottom of the pie to keep the dish clean. When you have finished icing the cake, the waxed paper will need to be removed. The easiest way to frost a cake is on a special rotating cake stand, which you can buy at many hardware stores.

    • Get your cake frosting tools ready, including a special spatula and a wide scraper to smooth the frosting. Do not use a knife or rubber spatula. They are easier to use but will not give the desired smooth finish.
    • If you like, you can use a piping bag with an icing tool to apply the first layer of icing. Using a pastry bag, you can also decorate the finished cake with various tops.
  3. Apply crumb catcher. This is the initial thin layer of icing, designed to bind loose crumbs on the surface of the cake before applying the final layer of icing. Apply the crumb catcher with a cookie cutter spatula, spreading room temperature frosting over the top and sides of the cake.

    Glazing the cake with the upside down method

    1. Cut out the cardboard bottom. Measure the size of your cake using the bottom of your baking dish and cut out a piece of cardboard the same size. Attach it with a piece of duct tape to the rotating cake stand.

      Add wax paper. Cut out a large piece of wax paper or baking paper and place it on the cardboard and cake platter. The paper should completely cover the dish and its edges, hanging down on the sides. Tape it to the cardboard so it doesn't slide back and forth as you glaze.

      Apply the top layer of glaze. Use a spatula to apply a 0.5-1 inch (1.2 - 2.5 cm) thick layer of glaze directly onto the waxed paper. Completely fill in the area of ​​waxed paper, under which there is a cardboard outline. If needed, add some extra frosting around the edges.

      Put the cake on the frosting. Take the crumb-catcher-covered cake out of the fridge and invert it onto the frosting. Do this slowly so that the cake is exactly on the frosting.

      Cover the sides of the cake with frosting. Spread a generous amount of frosting on the sides of the cake with a spatula. Add in excess, as you will still scrape off the excess at the end with a wide scraper knife.

      Align the sides. Take your scraper knife and hold it steady as you slowly turn the pie plate. Since excess glaze will collect on it, wipe it off and soak it in warm water. Wipe off any icing that gets on the wax paper.

      Refrigerate or freeze the cake. Place the pie dish in the refrigerator or freezer and let the icing harden. Depending on the temperature, this can take from half an hour to several hours.

      Finish glazing. When the frosting is firm to the touch, remove the cake from the refrigerator. Peel off the wax paper and remove the cake from the dish. Remove the cardboard outline from the dish and invert the cake onto the dish. Then slowly peel off the wax paper until you find a perfectly smooth surface underneath.

How to frost a cake

There are several ways to apply icing on a cake. They depend on the density, purpose and idea. Cover the cake with icing using a pastry spatula or spatula. It is coated with either the entire cake, or just its top. In order not to keep the cake on weight, it is placed on a special spinning stand. And in order to cover only the top with icing, a detachable ring is put on the cake, clamped and icing is poured. After it hardens, it remains just to remove the ring. Instead, you can use a strip of cardboard that is attached around the cake with a thread.

In order to fill the entire cake with an even layer of glaze, it is placed on a stand or wire rack. And they, in turn, are placed on a tray or a large dish, on which the chocolate will drain. The fill starts from the center and spirals towards the edge. In this way, you can cover the entire cake or make beautiful smudges on the sides.

If it is necessary to make a perfectly even chocolate layer, then before applying the icing, the cake is leveled with cottage cheese or, and is also suitable for this.

Some useful tips on how to make your cake look more presentable.

Allow the cake to cool before frosting the cake. So that it does not drain from the cake, it must be brought to a temperature slightly above room temperature. And if you overexpose it, it can turn into a lump.

Decorating the cake with icing is best done with a rubber brush. So that you do not have to level the surface of the cake, grease it with an additional layer of jam. After that, you can pour chocolate over the cake, decorate it with fruits, berries, nuts or colored sprinkles.

Don't skimp on chocolate for frosting. If you buy a cheap product, it will affect the quality and taste of the entire confectionery.

When you cook the glaze on the stove, it should never boil. If this happens, its consistency will not be as pleasant, and even butter will not save the situation.

You can specially pour the cake with warm icing while it is liquid. This is necessary so that there are smudges, thanks to which your confectionery product will become more beautiful. Here you need to be guided only by your preferences, because some do not like streaks.

After covering the cake with icing and decorating, put it in the cold for several hours. Your cake will turn out very tasty and decorate your holiday table.
