Scraper To achieve super-smooth edges on both the crumb coat and final layer, hold a scraper in your dominant hand and then use the other hand to grip the turntable so you’ll be able to turn it as close to one complete rotation as you can. (If you’re right-handed, you’ll be rotating it counterclockwise and vice versa.) Begin rotating the cake and then gradually press the scraper up against the side, continuing to rotate at an even pace. Release pressure gradually while continuing to rotate the cake and scrape off the bench scraper. Continue until the desired smoothness is achieved. This step takes practice.
Mix food colouring into each of the bowls. Frost the top of the cake with an offset spatula. Fill a piping bag fitted with a large, round tip with the lightest shade and pipe around the edge of the cake. Once you’ve made a complete rotation, squeeze out all of the remaining frostings from the bag and then fill it with the next shade and pipe directly next to the frosting that you just piped on. Use a scraper to scrape off all of the excess frostings and create smooth edges.
Soothing Cake Edge: When you are done applying the icing to the sides of the cake, it’s time to smooth it. . Place it against the side of the cake. You want to hold it straight up and down, as straight as possible. Hold your icing smoother in the same place and use your other hand to turn the turntable. Continue to turn the turntable, scraping the icing to make perfect designs on the side or top of cakes.
