Hi guys, you may of seen me recently post about the struggles I am having with getting a smooth final coat. Here's an example of what my final coats are coming out like, any advice appreciated! This is Jess' buttercream recipe, I have tried heating the metal scraper up

Hi guys, does everyone use buttercream for their icing? I find that sometimes I get a really buttery texture when I use it! And I am also struggling with a smooth finish so debating something else. I feel like ganache would just overpower the cake?

Morning guys, I am after some advice. We have just moved and as you can see our new kitchen is very open on one side. This area leads into the dining table and then the living room. The issue I have is that we have a dog who obviously needs to be kept out of the area when I am baking. So far the only option I have come up with is to put a gate at the top of the stairs, and keep him upstairs whilst I bake. However, this is unideal. Any other thoughts? (Excuse the mess, we moved last week I am just thinking ahead!)
