Last cake for the class

Oh, the class is over now, it was so much fun.

Amy......

To Amy.....well I know a bunch of you....and I'm not sure who left the last comment. So this is to all the Amy's I know.

Regarding the comment about frosting a cake without getting crumbs in it. Here is the secret. You need to put a crumb coat on it first. Make a thin buttercream frosting (don't make your whole batch thin just a little bit) and spread it all over your cake. Don't worry about the crumbs. When you are done let your cake sit for 10-20 minutes. It will get a "crust" on it, and then you can go over it with more frosting and it should look much better. All your crumbs will be locked in, and shouldn't appear on the surface leaving you free to decorate how ever you want.

So does this answer your question? Amy please comment back so that I know which one of you left the comment!

Enjoy!
Ann
