Thank you so much. I followed your tips to make a semi naked wedding cake and now another person wants a smooth sided cake! My husband will have to eat the practices😂

I freeze my cakes without icing so I can do all my baking in one day, the day before I need to decorate them, I put them in the fridge to defrost, but I find it easier to decorate a cold cake. Just my preference.
I also use baking strips so my cakes don't dome.
I get lazy and usually don't do a crumb coat but I'm trying it this week. I've always heard of people doing a crumb coat but I didn't really know why, but you explained it and it makes sense.
Thank you for all your tips.
