could it be air bubbles? can you poke it with a pin and push the air out with a spatula?  can you post a picture of the problem so we can see whats going on?

AThe cake needed to settle with a weight. For a cake due Saturday, put it together on Thursday, prepare it for settling and finish it on Friday. There's a long thread on the Cake Decorating Forum titled My Latest Trick that explains it.

AThank you. Thank goodness I got up early and filled the cake and laid two heavy books on top and let it set for several hours and it did great the one that that gave me the most trouble was the second tier. Finally scraped off the icing and started over and it did really good what is crazy though, is it did the bulge immediately!? when I iced it the first and second time that day it was so rainy. But the next day when I iced it it wasn't raining!!! Go figure I'm puzzled
