Step 6. Final Decorations.

Now is time to clothe the cake in a final layer of icing. Use the remaining icing (hopefully what's left of the first can and all of the second) and apply big dollops of it to the sides and top. Beginning with the top, smooth out the icing in a circular fashion. Holding your knife and spinning the plate to rotate the cake around the knife, like this helps a great deal. Then smooth out the sides using the same plate-spinning technique. My cake ended up being not-so-smooth, as the icing was very heavy and kept sticking and moving with the knife, past the point of being helpful.

I ended up with this- rough edges and all.

It is here that I sprinkled the remainder of my Oreo bits across the top of my cake. This can be done in any fashion or design- I ended up making a Yin Yang on top of mine, in reference to a past project and to be able to have a very Zen and well-balanced cake.

Ta-da!
