I never knew ____ could be so complicated!

@ Pavlov - thanks for the tip, but I've done both those things already! The crumb coat does keep the crumbs out of the frosting, but it certainly doesn't make it any prettier. And I have an offset spatula -- two, in fact, in different sizes. I'm just decorating impaired or something. I could never color inside the lines either, for that matter!

I never knew ____ could be so complicated!

Frosting a cake. It doesn't matter what I do, or what fancy tools I use, or even if I just grab a spatula and smear - every cake I touch looks like a big, lumpy monster from Mars.

I have problems with the appearance of most of the foods I make - it all tastes good, at least, but I just seem to lack that artistic touch!

From Serious Eats

Fondue Made Healthy with ... Puréed Beans?

If - and that's a big if - but if this works, and it really does taste good, I would love to use this same technique on a low-fat version of macaroni and cheese. As long as it's not too grainy, it would probably taste really good.
