Finally, applying a base coat, or "crumb coat," of icing seals in loose crumbs so that they do not mar the cake's appearance.

When filling and icing a cake with a butter-cream frosting, the challenge is to prevent crumbs from catching in the icing.

Chocolate CupCake Recipes loose crumbs with a pastry brush.
Cold icing is difficult to spread and pulls on the surface of the cake, so if you've made the icing ahead and chilled it, give it ample time to warm and soften. Also, placing the cake's sturdy bottom crust face-up on the top layer minimizes crumbs and provides distinct, clean edges that are easy to ice. Spreading a thin coating of frosting on the sides helps seal in any crumbs, allowing for a smoother overall look.
If you are cutting the cake into layers,
CupCakes Recipe measure the height of the cake (that has been levelled, if necessary) and cut a small incision into the side with a paring knife to mark the desired thickness of your layers. Repeat every 3 or 4 inches around the circumference of the cake.

Place the strips of lemon rinds on the trays of a dehydrator. They should not be overlapping or touching. Turn the dehydrator on.
If you don't remove the pith the rind will have a bitter taste.

It was a roasting hot day outside and walking into the refrigerated environment initially proved to be a welcome and refreshing change although after a while I started to get cold and
Recipes for Chocolate started to admire that guys who worked in this refrigerated environment day in day out.
The other shock that I got that day was when our tour guide explained what happened during the processing and packing of the chicken. To my surprise, whole chickens arrived yet when packed up the breast meat had been segregated from the wings and the legs. I asked my guide why this was and he explained that the breast meat was destined for mainland America but the legs and wings were to be air freighted to Eastern Europe because "Americans don't like to prepare meat with bones".
