I recently learned how to make 2 layers of chocolate cake but I don't know how to make those sweet yummy luscious cake icing that goes around the cake. I also need to know if there is a FREE website that can give me all the tricks in baking..thanks!

You can use powered sugar and some water and whip that up and you get icing. OR why don't you just go to the store and buy the small Betty Crocker containers or use the tubes that you can screw on the different tips to make your cake more interesting.
Once your tube is empty, cut off the back end of it, wash it out really well and then you can add a different color of frosting from the Betty Crocker container into the tube. Screw on a selected fancy tip and fold over the back where you cut it off and start frosting/designing.
