Ok I am fairly new to making/decorating cakes. I just made my 3rd wedding cake and I keep running into the same problem.

When I cover my cakes in fondant, after they settle the side of the cake begins to buldge where my filling is.. It makes my beautiful cake look not so beautiful.

If anyone can please provide me some tips to prevent this from happening I would greatly appreciate it!!

Check out this tutorial that is on the cakeboss website. It has some great tips to prevent buldging and explain what can cause it.

You reallt need to let your cakes settle. Torte, fill, wrap and let it sit overnight. then ice and decorate.
