How Do You Get Cream Cheese Icing Smooth On A Cake?
To get a smooth cream cheese icing on a cake, first, make sure that the icing is at room temperature and soft enough to spread easily. Next, apply a thin layer of icing on the cake, called a crumb coat, and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. After that, apply a thicker layer of icing and use a spatula or a bench scraper to smooth it out evenly. Finally, run a hot spatula or a butter knife over the icing lightly to get a glossy and smooth finish.
