im doing a 3 tier wedding cake covered in mmf for tomorrow. im very worried about my bottom tier. when i put the middle tier[10"]on the bottom tier 12" it looked misshappen and bulging around the sides.I used 5 wooden dowels.the filling is vannila pudding. Is it possible i used to much buttercream crumbcoat.Or maybe i need a better support like the plastic pillars and plate. Going to finish it off tomorrow. Should i peel off fondant and do it over. I really want it to be beautiful. Please help! 
i've had that happen, and i think it was because of too much buttercream. but if you just had a thin crumb coat, then maybe it is your dowels.
Super cute, but 'aw c'mon -- it's not WORTHLESS! We all know what a bulge looks like.
As for the bulge -- if it's not from the cake being moved at all, then perhaps you should start over if you have time. A bulge that is making you think about redoing the cake means that you should probably redo it if you have time. You'll never get past it if you don't.

Agreed, the thread is definitely not worthless without pics, but specific instructions/suggestions could be provided to her if she could provide a picture. Her filling could be bulging, which is showing through too-thin fondant, or it could be a massive airbubble, badly uneven fondant, or her cake could appear to be stressing and possibly breaking apart from poor doweling. Her cake could be salvaged if her filling was bulging or her fondant was rolled too thinly or too unevenly, or was trapping an air bubble, or was even mildly breaking from poor doweling.
A picture could have helped us provide a definitive diagnosis for the problem her cake was experiencing, because it could have been any number of things. 
In any case, phoenix13, I hope it worked out well! We'd love for you to follow up with what happened.

indydeby, I keep a hidden stash of cute smilies on my website to use when the smilies here just don't convey the right message.
