Perfectly level buttercream

Does anyone know of a device that would be like a frame with stands on either side of the cake, that would allow us to slide a straight edge across and be perfectly level every time? I use the straight edge with the level on it, but what I envision would be so easy… one swipe and BAM! Level! It would be the same principle as the rings on the ends of the rolling pins. If there isn’t such a device, maybe I should have my husband create one and patent it! Lol!

With the “upside-down” method, it’s possible to get a perfectly level top and only worry about the edges. This method works with ganache and buttercream and is great!

Does the upside down method work with butter icing as well as it does with ganache!?

Heaven in paper cups!

I use the upside down methos with buttercream and ganache – exact same process for me! Love the level tops and crisp edges!
