To ice a cake smoothly for a professional finish, start by applying a thin layer of frosting called a crumb coat. Chill the cake for about 30 minutes, then apply a thicker layer of frosting and use a bench scraper or offset spatula to smooth it out. Repeat the process until the cake is evenly coated and smooth.
