For applying buttercream icing, a quarter-sheet cake is generally easier because it has a flat surface, which makes spreading the icing more straightforward. The 2-layer 8-inch round cake has curved edges, which can be trickier to smooth out. If you’re new to decorating, you might find the flat surface of the quarter-sheet cake more manageable.
