Has Anyone Used The Roller Method Yet

Has any one done this yet? wondered how easy it was and if it helped make edges look sharper?Thanks for the heads up
I've used it several times. I dont' know so much about the edges, but the surface gets really smooth. Just make sure to put something under the roller, like a viva or parchment. No matter how clean or new my roller is, I always end up getting little fuzzies on the surface of my cake.
Sorry not sure what's wrong, I just searched and came up with at least 5.
Jan H where are you.. the linking queen!!
Hopefully Jan can help you out, she's able to give you a ton of links on this method.
I just used the Melvira for the first time this weekend on my first wedding cake and I LOVE how smooth it turned out! I never want to make a cake without that handy little roller again
I've been using it ever since I first read it on this forum. I love it. I only do sheetcakes; so I don't get the edges very well. Borders usually my edges.
Hi--I HAVE and would not go back to the old way of smoothing the icing!! It's amazing!!! And lots less work!! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I use it all the time and it has made my life about a zillion times easier! I have a small size (maybe 3 or 4") for tight spaces and a larger (probably 6") for tops of sheet cakes and such. I still struggle with really sharp edges, and I wouldn't say this tool helps a ton with that, except maybe to kind of "push" the icing more level along the edges, if that makes sense.
I use the dense foam roller and haven't had any problems with it. It works great for me!!!
That's the ONLY way I smooth a cake, and 99% of my cakes get smoothed that way. If I don't use the Melvira method they don't get smoothed at all, like the WWE cake I just made didn't get smoothed cause I wanted it to look like a ruffled mat lol... It's very easy and very inexpencive
Also to get "sharp" corners/edges I just roll the top first then the sides and once I do that I can normally use my CLEAN fingers to just push it the way it needs to go
I used that method this past weekend, after my cake had crusted, and I couldn't notice a difference. I am not sure what I was doing wrong. I felt like I was applying the right amount of pressure.
I used this method for the first time a few weeks ago and had a "ah ha" moment. It was 5:30 a.m. and I was singing a little thank you song to Melvira in my head!! Felt like there were cake angles singin' along!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Melvira method! I use the foam roller, and sometimes my hand held pampered chef roller too. Still practicing on corners and edges, though!
