It can be a challenge to get a really smooth finish to your cake. One tip that might be helpful is crumb coating. Basically you are going to frost your cake with a very thin layer of your frosting. Use an offset spatula. It works best. I like to clean off my spatula evertime I go to put more frosting on it. I simple use a bowl to scrape off the edge of the spatula. This will ensure that you do not get any crumbs into your unused frosting. Once you have put on a very thin layer (you will be able to see your cake through the frosting a little bit), go ahead and refrigerate it for 30 minutes. This will allow the frosting to harden just a bit and the crumbs will remain in this layer of frosting and not in your final layer.
