just when it's cooled down so it doesn't melt

It doesn't really matter but I prefer to do it ahead of time. If you really want to do a great icing job you should put a crumb coat on. It just a really really thin layer. Let that sit for a few hours until it hardens a bit. This will make it so that when you do the final layer no crumbs will get into it.
If you let the final layer sit and use really good bakers icing the outside will harden a bit. It's the best way to eat cake when the outside of the frosting has a slight (very slight) harness to it.
If your using canned icing it doesn't really make a difference.

i normally place the cake in the fridge for about 15 minutes then add the frosting. but if you also place the icing on the stove after the cake has come out. i've noticed the frosting is much softer and easier to spread on the cake later.

that all depends on you as a person...you should wait til the entire cake is at room temperature...if you place this in the fridge thinking that this will cool it faster...this will only make the cake have a moisture barrier that won't allow the frosting to cling to the cake...cool out in the air...However since I don't like frosting I would leave it plain....

the trick i use for cakes is put them in the freezer for about 15 minutes before i frost the cake because not only will the cake be completely cooled down it will be super moist

I frost my tarts while they're thoroughly cooled at room temp. If the field did not say to refrigerate it to chill out it, then you might desire to have left it on the counter to chill out. it is going to p.c.. up moisture from being interior the refrigerator & that may not be a solid element while frosting. you're able to now have difficulty getting it out of the pan considering which you place it interior the refrigerator. They inform you to attend 10 minutes before flipping simply by fact supplies the cake a super gamble to chill out down somewhat. solid success!

Hey Man, If you want a slightly harden crust of sweet, sweet frosting; put it on 15 min. after the heavenly process of baking. Otherwise, Put is on right befor you eat it, because then, you can slice and frost, and frost and frost!!!!

You can wait up to 24 hrs. to frost a cake, so long as you keep it in an airtight container until frosting time.

Put the icing on about 20 to 25 minutes later to make sure the Icing doesn't melt off. and don't wait too long or the cake will peel off by layers.

Put the frosting on 30 minutes after you eat it.

Make sure the cake is completely cooled before you ice it. otherwise the frosting will melt and run.
