<< How this #digitalmarketing agency owner justified "The truth is, we don’t have to be experts at everything..." >> I think back to my cake decorating instructor days and how I went from barely learning how to decorate cakes, to teaching how to do it in only a few months. But the audience I was teaching weren’t looking for the Duff Goldman’s of the world. They didn’t need to learn how to build a 6 tier wedding cake or how to carve a guitar shaped cake. They just needed to know how to bake a cake, level it and cover it in icing. I didn’t need to claim I was an expert at cake decorating. I was just good at showing people how to ice their first cake. The next time you think you aren’t good enough at a skill, or don’t think you can offer a service to a client, simply because you aren’t the best of the best - You can help them with their pain points at the level they need them solved." -Kelly Sturtevant >> What do you think?

Why Crumb Coat? A crumb coat makes all of the crumbs stick together so that they don't get into your frosting. Applying a smooth layer of cream seals the cake and prevents additional crumbs from getting into the outer layer of your frosting • Keep Your Crumb Coat Layer Thin When applying a crumb coat, be careful not to use too much frosting. Instead, spread a thin layer of frosting on the top and sides of the cake. Try not to worry too much about what it looks like at this point. Remember. this is just a foundation for your finished result. Allow Your Crumb Coat to Chill Once your cake is fully covered in a thin layer of icing and all crumbs have been sealed, chill the cake in the fridge for at least an hour. This will help the crumb coat set to ensure it's ready for the decorating process. Decorate Your Cake After the crumb coat has thoroughly chilled, it's time to get creative! Remove the cake from the fridge and add a finishing layer of icing to the top. Be sure to cover any visible crumbs, cracks and uneven sections.
