Could have mentioned using a thin crumb layer if cake is especially crumbly or if cake shape has been cut. Liked the wavy fork technique on the side.

It's excellent, and so simple for anyone who is new to decorating, just starting out and lacking in many tools.

I enjoyed this instructional video and never knew a fork and spoon could be so helpful in cake decorating designs.
