How do I prevent air pocket blow outs in my buttercream frosted cakes?
One cake out of ten it seems will have a blow out appear on the side after it is completely frosted and decorated. Sometimes it is within hours other times it is overnight. Please give me suggestions.
Thanks
i find that if i let the cake settle a little before frosting it prevents these blow outs. i have learned these tips from different people on this site, use a #12 tip to pipe the dam (1/4 inch from the edge) with stiff buttercream and the filing cover the cake with wrap so it doesn't dry out and then let it settle for about a half hour, I help it along by putting the pan on top and a 1 lb box of sugar. frost the cake and then poke a little hole in the top of the cake - have not had any problems since. hth
