If you don't have a turn table ...try this ...if you have a microwave use the microwave plate and ring under the plate place on your counter or table be sure the space where you set the ring and plate are smooth.

I would love to see more tutorials. My mother specialized in cakes from scratch and loved decorating. She was best known for her wedding cakes. I did not pay attention.

Great!! ❣ Easy to understand! Iwas particularly impressed by two!
The first one…　Slide in like an airplane landing on the ground.
The second…　Set spatula at 4 o`clock position.
It`s nice to have an easy-to-understand expression!! 👍🥰👏
