Hi Lena! We've always frosted the cake while it's still warm to create sort of a "glaze" instead of a standard frosting feel. However, you can always wait to frost when the cake has cooled if you'd prefer that!
I'm curious, is there a particular reason for frosting the cake while it's still warm? I always find that if I don't let it cool properly, I end up with some crumbs getting in my frosting.
