2. If you want a very smooth cake, let the cake sit for 15 minutes
after icing (longer for a thinner icing). Then using your spatula or
fondant smoothing tool (this works best)and smooth it with a
plain, non-patterned Viva paper towel. To do this, take your paper
towel and lay it on your icing (after it crusts) and lightly rub over
the paper towel with your hand, spatula or fondant smoothing tool
to get a smooth surface. If the icing sticks to the paper towel, you
didn’t let it “crust” long enough. Stick it in the fridge for 20 min
utes or so to let it “crust” then try again. If you let it dry too long it
will get harder to achieve the smooth look.
