Preparing a cake is not always an easy thing to do.
And icing it with a thin layer of melting chocolate can be a real obstacle course!
But, recently, I've been using an unstoppable trick for a perfect frosting of my pastries.
By squeezing the corner of a small freezer bag filled with my preparation, I ice my cake by simply going around.
Here is my technique in picture:
1. Take a small freezer bag (or other plastic bag).
2. Cut one of its corners.
3. Simply fill a small freezer bag with your icing.
4. Gently press the bag around the cake.
And there you have it, you have made your icing effortlessly :-)
Simple, practical and effective, isn't it?
You see, it's super easy to do.
And you don't even need a pastry bag to make a nice icing! It's much more economical that way.
And it works great for chocolate icing on a hot or cold cake. It's perfect for successfully topping a beautiful birthday cake.
