| 13. | Use a non stick plastic knife with out the serated edges. Cut around the cake very closely and take away any excess icing and place it back into and air tight container. to avoid cracking. |
| 14. | Smooth the icing with the perspex smoothers to acheive a professional sharper edge. If you wish to have a rounded edge, you can skip this step. |
