I love this, so clean looking. I love the way the buttercream looks. I even thought it was fondant at first. How do you make it so smooth?

Thank you for commenting! Paper towels followed by computer paper and a fondant smoother.

Your frosting does look great. Did you use Sharon's Sugar Shack video? I just bought it but haven't made a cake since. I'm anxious to try my new-found skills! Love the cake, very beautiful!
