7. Spread a thin layer all over the cake to crumb coat it. Chill for 20 mins.
8. Put the remaining frosting into a piping bag and just snip the end off.
9. To decorate, make three dollops of frosting on the side of the cake. Use a small spatula to gently swipe across them. Put three more dots near to the end of this and swipe again with the spatula. Do this all around the cake.
Towards the end, just add three dots as its too near the first three that you started with. Do the same with the top, start from the outside working your way to the center.
Just add a dot of frosting in the middle of the cake to finish it.

says:This recipe calls for freshly brewed coffee. Does that mean u put the coffee in while its hot or let it cool off first?
