In my last blog post I taught you how to estimate frosting amounts, get the right consistency with your frosting and how to frost a two-layer cake. In this post, I will go into more depth about texturing your cake, cover frosting cupcakes and sheet cakes, how to dust cakes with confectioner’s sugar and how to glaze.

Ahoy, me matey’s! A pirate birthday theme can be so much fun. I had a blast concocting this cake. I made it for a good friend’s son, who just turned five.
