How to use a Viva Paper towel to smooth an icing on a cake?
- After icing the cake wait for 5mins, touch the icing to check if it is still sticky. Once you feel the icing is not sticking to your hands take a piece of the viva towel (preferable) else any paper towel you have at home, note with viva towel your icing will be smooth but with other paper towel it will leave out some effect on the icing , well in a way it will give a printing effect if you like it 
something different.
