It shouldn’t if the buttercream is the right consistency. It needs to be thick enough.

Doesnt the paper towel stick to the frosting?

I’m glad you’re finding it helpful!

As for the turntable, I haven’t used any others, but it looks like there’s a similar one by Ateco on Amazon and I’m guessing that one would be good. The size of the cake board depends on the size of your cake, but for an 8 inch cake, I usually use a 10 inch cake board. The ones I have are Wilton. My piping bags are also Wilton, 16 inch. I hope that helps!

I can’t wait to try this recipe! I’m just wanting to get into decorating cakes and your video on how to decorate a cake is amazing, I can’t wait to try all of your wonderful tips, but I have a few questions:
It doesn’t look like the turntable you used is made anymore, is there one that you would suggest to use instead? What size and brands cake boards and piping bags did you use? What size bags did you use as well?

Thank you so much,

Hannah

I haven’t done much on crumb coating, because I don’t usually do much of one. The way I apply the frosting with the piping tip makes it so that it’s not typically necessary. If I were to use one, I’d use the same consistency as the buttercream I was putting on the cake. I hope that helps!
