The Do’s and Dont’s of Crumb Coating
DO
• Do cover the entire surface of the cake with frosting.
• Do make it thin and keep it tight to the cake. You should be able to easily see the cake below.
• Do refrigerate the cake for at least 10 minutes before proceeding with the final coat.
DON’T
• Don’t fuss over the crumb coat. It will never be seen.
• Don’t add a thick crumb coat. The purpose is to hold the crumbs against the cake snugly.
• Don’t scrape buttercream used during the crumb coating process back into the main bowl of frosting, as that can contaminate the whole batch with crumbs. Instead, use a small bowl and keep the remaining buttercream for the next cake that needs crumb-coating.
