As you all very well may know, I am known for getting my buttercream nice and smooth. It's a skill I have developed over time - it certainly didn't happen overnight. I get questions from people all the time that want a solution for covering some of those beginning boo-boos without using fondant. I have found that sanding sugar fits this bill quite nicely. It's relatively inexpensive, it goes on fairly easy, and it will go a long way to covering up some of those small mistakes in your buttercream. It gives a really nice effect too; I fins myself using this a lot for winter weddings.
I actually used the sanding sugar here because this is a dummy cake. I wanted to showcase something besides fondant to my brides, so I started covering the tiers with royal icing. I wasn't very happy with the look, so out came the sanding sugar. One note: when applying this, it can get messy fast. I recommend sitting your cake inside a large sheet pan as you put the sanding sugar on - it will catch the "runoff" and you can scoop it up and use it again.
