While an icing spatula is often considered an extension of a professional baker's hand, it is not needed for every icing endeavor. If the cake or pastry is not going to be displayed for its artsitic properties, it is perfectly fine to use a regular butter knife or even a spoon to spread icing. It is important to remember that the icing will not be as smooth nor will either utensil prevent the cake from crumbling a bit during the icing of it.

How make whipped icing for cake?
To make a rich buttercream icing, empty one regular-sized bag of icing sugar (confectioner's sugar in the US) into a deep bowl. Add one cube of softened butter. Using an electric mixer, blend together until there aren't any large lumps of butter remaining. Drizzle a very, very small amount of milk (use a teaspoon and only add them one teaspoon at a time) until the icing begins to melt together. Add 1/2 tsp of pure vanilla and continue whipping. You can also add a little high-quality melted chocolate and eliminate the vanilla if you prefer a chocolate icing. When you're finished, your icing should be well-blended and glossy. It should be able to form peaks when you lift the spatula from it. The amount stated above should ice a 2-layer cake on the top, middle and sides. Use this icing only on cake that is completely cool; if you try to ice a warm cake, the icing will melt and won't retain its thickness on the cake.

When icing cakes what is a crumb coat?
In order to have your icing on your cake be crumb free (most noticeable when icing a chocolate or dark cake with white or light icing) first ice your cake with a thinned out layer of the icing. (You can thin out your icing with water our milk.) ...don't worry about crumbs or the cake showing through at this point. You are basically "sealing in" the crumbs, ergo the name crumb coat. Pop your cakes in the frig, for 30 minutes to an hour to set the crumb coat of icing. Then apply a second coat, or finish coat to the cake, with thicker icing than the first, or crumb coat. This way you end up with a finish coating of icing that is crumb free and professional looking. Think of the crumb coat at the primer on your walls when you are painting. A good base coat make the finish coat smooth and even. Here is a link that explains: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-crumb-coat.htm
