Oops… MzCuteCupcakes….missed a step. I should have stated I apply a thick coat of icing, place cake on my turntable and using a drywall spatula I holding at a right angle to the cake, I do remove a good bit of icing on the sides as I turn the turntable , then do the top. Then into the fridge. Sorry. So not super thick…but a good approx 1- 1 1/2" coat. Hope that clarifies. I also put meringue powder in my icing. Once it sets, it stays pretty firm, not going anywhere. I’ve had sagging if my cake wasn’t level, or didn’t dowel it. Learned that from experience. I had buttercream leak out once…it was extremely hot and humid and I had no border around my finished cake. Now, I usually pipe a very thin line of a RI around the perimeter of bottom of the cake before I apply the fondant. Creates a dam so bc can’t ooze out.
