8. Spread Your Frosting

Spoon your buttercream frosting onto the center of the treat in thick dollops to start. Then, spread the frosting outward with a butter knife or offset spatula. Add more frosting to the top as needed and continue to spread over the surface area of your cake, cupcake or other dessert of choice. Smooth the frosting evenly over the top and sides with the edge of your knife or spatula.
