2. Fillings and Frostings Fluffy whipped cream, creamy puddings, and sweet fruits are popular fillings for cakes. Spread the fillings between layers of cake or roll them into the center of a jelly roll. You can also spoon them into a cavity dug into the middle of the cake.

3. Frosting a Cake 1.Brush crumbs from the surface of the layers. 2.Arrange strips of waxed paper on a cake plate. Cover only the edges of the plate. 3.Frost the top of the bottom layer.

4. Frosting a Cake Put the top layer on top of the frosting or filling. Frost the sides of the cake. Then frost the top of the cake. Gently and slowly remove each piece of waxed paper from under the cake.

5. Frostings Cooked frostings-use the principles of candy making. They include ingredients that interfere with the formation of crystals in a heated sugar syrup. They you beat them until fluffy. Uncooked frostings-are made by beating the ingredients together until they reach a smooth, spreadable consistency.
