First put some wax paper or something of the like on a table and put the cake on it UPSIDE DOWN. Frost the sides and then flip it on to your plate/ cake stand then frost the top last. Doing it this way keeps the frosting from getting all over the plate.

Let your cake layers cool to room temp completely. Stick one layer on your cake plate, then plop a goodly amt of icing on top and spread, overhaning the edges a wee bit. Then top w/ second layer, plop more icing on top, smooth out, then smooth along sides. Seal frosting down to cake plate to help keep cake fresher.
