How do you prevent blow outs on the side of your cake after frosted? Is it because the cake is cold or something else? Sometimes when I frost a cake that is room temp. and it sits out overnight I will walk in and find a big air bubble on the side of the cake. Sometimes when the cake is straight from the refrigerator and I frost it I could have a bubble in two hours? It only happens when I don't expect it to.
I am puzzled! Thanks for your help, April
Cold cakes will have condensation as they come to room temperature and this will cause air pockets in your frosting.
As for the room temperature cake, it's possible that it's loosing its moisture and causing air pockets.
Room temperature and humidity levels will make a difference as well. Your cake area should be fairly cool and dry. Keep your cakes covered to help protect the frosting. If at all possible, don't put the frosting on the cake until the day you need it. This will help tremendously will frosting problems.
