- Using a spatular, spread a thin layer of frosting between the cake layers before applying the frosting on the top and lightly to the sides of the cake.
- If your layers have slightly domed tops, simply slice off with a sharp knife to even the layers before applying frosting. Scrape and smooth the frosting on the cake sides with a spatula.
