Tips to Frost a Cake

• Bake the cake.
• Cool it completely before frosting.
• Level the top of the cake using a sharp knife. Level the sides if needed.
• Turn the cake upside down ie. the down side of the cake will be in the top which will become the top of the cake once the frosting is done.
• Cut the cake into half, horizontally.
• Keep the top half aside and on the bottom portion, pour little sugar syrup or any flavoured juice like orange juice etc. Pour about 5 to 10 tablespoons of the syrup. No need to soak the cake.
• Now spread little chocolate frosting on the top.
• Place the top portion of the cake on the frosted bottom portion.
• Again pour little sugar syrup on top.
• Spread the chocolate frosting or chocolate ganache or any icing, such that the entire cake is covered with it.
• Always take large amount of frosting and put in the center of the cake. Start spreading from center towards the sides.
• Once the frosting is done, decorate with some edible beads, flowers, nuts etc.
• Use your creativity to decorate your cake.
