Frost It Right

Frost It Right

We strongly believe that if something tastes great, it should look great too. Follow these easy steps for presentation perfection.

Step 1: Place one cake layer on a plate or cake stand. Gently slide pieces of parchment paper under edges of cake. Spoon about 1/2 cup buttercream frosting onto the bottom layer; push to edge leaving a 1/2-inch border. A swiveling cheese board is a great substitute if you don’t have a revolving cake stand.
