Add more powdered sugar if frosting is too thin or another tablespoon of half and half if frosting is too thick.
To toast almonds:
Evenly distribute almonds on a microwave safe plate. Cook on HIGH for 2 minutes; stir. Repeat in 1 minute increments, stirring almonds each time until nuts are nicely toasted. Let almonds cool before placing on top of cake.
To decorate cake:
Using a large spatula, frost outside, top and inside inner circle of the cake. Scatter cool, toasted almonds on top of cake lightly pressing into the frosting so nuts stay in place.
Any extra frosting can be tightly covered and refrigerated for up to 1 week.
