CLEAN PLATE AFTER FROSTING

If you are having company and you want to make a great looking cake, you can try this for a clean neat plate.

Bake your cake as normal, and cool for at least an hour.

Freeze the cooled cake for 20-30 minutes.

While the cake is in the freezer, prepare your frosting and cut a piece of waxed paper large enough to cover the serving platter.

Sprinkle the waxed paper with powdered sugar or cocoa powder.

Take the cake out of the freezer and place on the sugar/cocoa coated waxed paper.

Ice the cake as normal.

Firmly grip the waxed paper in one hand, and slightly lifting the cake with a spatula with the other hand, pull the waxed paper from under the cake in one swift motion.

All of the extra frosting stays on the waxed paper, leaving your serving platter clean.
