combing my cake

Yes, you read that right I was combing a cake. A cake comb is a triangle shaped piece of metal with a zigzag edge. You run it across the surface of the frosting on your cake and it creates a texture. I don't often do this but the other day when I was making a cake at work I decided I wanted to do something different.
 
Here is a cropped picture that will give you a better look at the texture the comb creates.

Cake looks great! I have seen that technique before, I just didn't realize it was called combing a cake!

And you made little squares, too! It reminds me of the fabric that is called a waffle knit. Very pretty!

Combing a cake!! An interesting terminology. And fitting. (Beautiful cake, by the way).
