How to Smooth buttercream

[Jazz2U]

The welding helmet died. I made a sheet cake, layered &filled, cut it in 1/4s & stacked 3 of them which was too high. I carved & carved, took it apart, put it back together, got the 1/4 sheet I had saved for Jimmy, replaced the bottom portion, carved it pretty nice, figured I'd give it a try, put the fondant on and forget about it. It was too heavy for the cake & was like a butter cookie dough cracking. The Satin Ice was not working well. The fondant was too happy so I took it off, put the cake on a plate, wrapped it and went to bed. I wasn't happy with the cake itself, some parts were too dry. I tried!!! Sheesh! A lot of work for nothing! It was supposed to be for a 17yr old. I'm debating if I'm making another...

Sorry to hear (read) that, Jazz... You put so much work into it.
I'm sure you will be able to do something else an have a successful day.

I have to go to work and finish a couple of things.

See you later!

A lot of wasted cake, fondant, cake boards. I wound up making this one today. I was surprised I got it done.
