Secure the Cake


Before you begin to fill or frost your cake, you want to make sure and secure the cake to a cake board so that it does not slide. Especially if you plan on moving your cake after it has been frosted. You don't want all of your hard work sliding to the floor and these are very easy decorating instructions.




Secure your Cake - Placing Cakes On Cake Boards

Be sure you are using a wax coated cardboard  or have your board covered with something such as cake foil. These are easy to obtain or make yourself.

Using a metal spatula, place a couple of tablespoons of icing on the middle of your cake board. Use your spatula to spread the icing a little, but not too much. You want the icing to be a little thick so it can properly hold the cake in place.

Center your cake layer with the bottom side of the cake down if you are filling the cake. If you are not filling the cake place the bottom side, which is the smoothest side, up as above . Press the cake into place on your cake board.


You are now ready to fill the cake or  frost the cake.
