Cake Decorating Basics: Another Way To Ice A Cake Smooth

Using stiff consistency, "crusting" cream cheese icing, I demonstrate how to ice a cake smooth using the cake icer tip #789 (amzn.to/1vvf7B6) and Viva paper towels (amzn.to/1hYQ9RA).
This is how I iced the tiers for a wedding cake I made last year (www.cakedarla.com/2013/09/29/w..., and three different people asked me if the cake was covered in fondant, so this is an effective method.
The icing recipe is posted here: www.designmeacake.com/crustcre...

Wow, you just floored me with your layer filling technique. I am going to try that on my next cake, next week. I will let you know how it turns out! Great idea!

Oh, sorry, I meant to ask, can you make a short video of slicing your cake so we can see what it looks like with that filling technique? Thanks! I always like to see what it looks like inside.

Would it not be best to bring the filling level with the lip so that the base of the next cake is in contact with the filling so as to avoid an air pocket?
