Frosting Cakes Smooth & Shiny
After frosting your cake, dip a palette
knife or small spatula into hot water
and wipe. Then slide the heated knife
over the cake, it'll melt the icing just
enough to make the surface smooth and
shiny.
Frosting––Before & After
Please allow your cake to cool
completely for about four hours before
frosting. After you frost, let your
frosted cake stand for at least one hour
before you slice it.
To Evenly Spread Frosting
Using a flexible spatula, spread your
frosting with light back and forth
strokes. Try to avoid lifting your
spatula so you don't pull the crust away
from your cake.
To Thin Frosting
If the frosting becomes too thick to
spread easily, stir in a few drops of
water.
No-Mess Frosting
To keep your cake neat while you apply
frosting, place four pieces of waxed
paper under the edges of the bottom
layer. After you frost, carefully slide
the waxed paper out and away.
Lightning-quick Glaze
For a quick glaze, combine [1 cup:250 mL]
icing sugar with [1 to 2
tablespoons:15-30 mL] water. Stir until
smooth. Spoon over cake.
Never Frost a Warm Cake
Before frosting any cake, you should let
it cool completely for at least four
hours. Otherwise, your frosting may turn
runny. The only exception is if the
recipe explicitly directs you to do so.
Frosting Glaze
You can create a quick glaze by placing
1/2 cup of Duncan Hines® Creamy
Homestyle Vanilla Frosting™ in a small
microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH
(100% power) for 10 seconds; add 5 to 10
seconds if necessary. Stir mixture until
smooth and thin.
The Perfect Glaze
Sift icing sugar before preparing glaze.
To Thicken A Glaze
If glaze becomes too thin, add more
confectioner's sugar. If glaze is too
thick, add more orange juice.
Creamy Cream Cheese Glaze
For glaze, beat 1 container Duncan
Hines® Creamy Cream Cheese frosting in
microwave at HIGH (100% power) for 30
seconds. Do not overheat. Stir until
smooth. Spread over cooled cake.
Frosting Cookies & Brownies
You can frost cookies or brownies with
your favorite flavor of Duncan Hines®
ready-to-serve frosting for a special
treat.
Frosting Drizzle
Blend together one tub of your favorite
Duncan Hines® frosting flavor with 2
tablespoons of milk until smooth. Spoon
over tube or Bundt® cakes.
Mousse Frosting
For an extra-special yet hassle-free
finish to your favorite cake recipe, try
gently folding 1 can of Duncan Hines®
Creamy Home-Style Frosting with 1
container of non-dairy whipped topping,
thawed. Then frost your cake as desired
and refrigerate until ready. |
