I need LOTS of advice on icing/decorating a birthday cake.?

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

I am making a 12″and 9″ round, three level cake. I was planning on freezing it overnight to make icing it easier, but how long do I wait to ice it after I take it out? I was going to buy a cake leveler, but wouldn’t it be easier just to turn the cakes bottom up? I plan on adding candies and other decor but I am using a whipped cream frosting and I wonder if I should pick a thicker frosting. How do I achieve a beautiful smooth iced finish like the professionals do? Also can I strart with the decorating as soon as it is iced and do I need to freeze/refridgerate it after it is done?
