Mardi Gras, also called Shrove Tuesday, or Fat Tuesday, in English, refers to events of the Carnival celebrations, beginning on or after the Christian feasts of the Epiphany and culminating on the day before Ash Wednesday.
To achieve a beautifully masked layer cake, it is important to have the right equipment. I also recommend having a damp cloth to hand, to clean the edge of your palette knife and side scraper as you work. Your frosting should be spreadable and lump-free, and at room temperature before use. You will need to mask any cake twice to achieve a smooth finish and straight edges; however, you can repeat the process until you are happy with the result. You will need to chill the cake after each coat, to set the frosting. Use a separate bowl for the crumb coat, to avoid spoiling the frosting for the final coat.
