She does it differently than I do, but her method works beautifully, too. Personal preference.

I prefer it to the butterier swiss/italian meringue buttercreams, but my absolute favorite is a combination. In terms of getting it smooth, it's just practice. I love the idea of the paper towel trick, but I have never done it successfully. I crumb coat my cakes, chill them, then frost them. I actually pipe on the frosting with a big open tip, which distributes it pretty evenly. Then I smooth and smooth and smooth with an offset spatula. When I have it close, I boil some water, put it in a tall glass, dip my spatula in to heat it, shake off the drips, and use the heat of the metal to smooth the frosting. Since I'm going to let it chill again after this, it doesn't matter if the frosting gets a tiny bit wet or melty - the goal is smooth - and it sets up perfectly in the fridge. I also sometimes run a paper towel very gently over the cake plate at the base of the cake to absorb any drips from the hot water. We can chat more by email if you have any questions.Jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01404333659115840964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975902558897929849.post-64670317008896054982011-09-22T11:30:23.780-07:002011-09-22T11:30:23.780-07:00OK, I think I'm addicted to your blog. :) I ma...OK, I think I'm addicted to your blog. :) I made your vanilla buttercream over the weekend. I am not a fan of traditional buttercream, but yours was DELICIOUS! New favorite! How did you get the buttercream to appear so smooth? Do you use the paper towel trick, or are you just really, really good at frosting? :)Dawn C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975902558897929849.post-39275542197681632542011-09-12T19:36:59.721-07:002011-09-12T19:36:59.721-07:00The lemon curd was deeeeelicious!
