- Scoop about 1 C of the frosting into the piping bag and set it aside
- Remove the rolled cake from the fridge and gently unroll the cake
- Spread 1 ½ C of frosting onto the cake and gently roll the cake back up
- Place into the fridge to firm up
- Remove cake from fridge and place onto a cutting board
