When cake is removed from pan, place in freezer immediately (don't wait for it to cool). 2-3 hours is just about the right amount of time. If a cake is to be filled, filling can be spread on frozen cake, then put layers together.
Apply the first layer of icing sparingly. This is called a "crumb coat", it keeps cake crumbs from getting into the frosting. Next apply the rest of the icing as usual.
For simple decorating use the following:
boarders - shell - tip #16
scallop - tip #104
writing - round tip #3
These tips are the Wilton numbers. With these 3 tips you can create a simple AND attractive cake. Don't be afraid to experiment with the tips on wax paper, then scrap the icing bake into the bag.
When writing on a cake do you get nervous because there is no spell check? Just write with a tooth pick, make sure it's what you want, then go over with the icing. No one will ever know!
Hope this help!
