crumb coating with syrup

Whatever you do you cannot tame the crumbs on cake. So when there is few solutions available what best suits is important.

Piping gel : Even though a piping gel calls for crumb coating a cake your cake will always have the gel effect & taste a pasty glue.

Icing: almost all professional bakers go for crumb coating with a thin layer of icing or frosting. it works well for professional bakers but for the first time cake love mates? no matter what u do end up with a bits & pieces of cake.

Freezing: Freezing the cake before frosting & keep it frozen until frosting or decorating completed. It works for people who plan well ahead of time & be patient till its completed.

but simple syrup method works well for everybody.

Syrup:  you can make a simple syrup with sugar & water or with any syrup like pancake syrup to maple syrup or fruit syrup. but remember to thin the syrup before coating the cake as you donot want more flavor or change in taste etc. moreover select a syrup based on the cake flavor & recipe. any flavor would do good for a simple white, yellow cake. For all other cakes select ur syrup carefully.

Doing good for your cake is doing good to urself. At any cost we have to eat the cake not decorate & look at it. so be beneficial.
