We’ve all been there; either you’ve made too little icing to cover your cake or you’ve tried to ice a slightly warm cake, resulting in a melted mess. Whatever the reason, you just can’t seem to produce that beautifully iced, three-tiered cake you have your heart set on recreating. But don’t give up, these 6 recipes are foolproof and don’t require much icing skill. 

This beautiful coconut cake is laced with coconut shavings that hide any icing blemishes which may have occurred and the result is so breath-taking no one would have guessed all it took was covering the cake in shaved coconut.
