💕🎄Striped Christmas Cake 🎅🏼🎄

Here are some of the tips that I have found useful when doing stripes on cakes. 

1. Make sure your cake is cold/frozen with a crumb coat or first layer of frosting. 

2. After applying your crumb coat, cover your cake with a thick layer of buttercream. 

3. Use a METAL cake comb. The metal makes the whole process go a lot easier. You can heat up the cake comb under hot water to smooth out the frosting. 

4. After you have gone over the cake with your cake comb, fill in any holes/uneven stripes with your base color. 
Smooth it out, then place cake in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. 

5. Add on your stripes in any color, and smooth out with a FLAT EDGED cake spatula.

(Heads up: it will get worse before it gets better. So don’t freak out when it all looks like it’s blending together. 
Just keep on smoothing out with the spatula and it will start to clean up and stripes will start forming).
