hello! I recently covered a filled and stacked cake with home-made fondant; it looked great when it went on, but after a while I could see "filling bulges", or ridges where the layers were filled. What did I do wrong? Fondant too soft? Room too warm? What can I do do avoid this problem?

Thanks!

You should let your cake "settle" for several hours or overnight once you have filled and crumbcoated it. You can take the bulges out and smooth it out again before you apply the fondant. Good Luck

building a dam with thickened bc around your filling should also help

see this thread for good advice.

Note: Leahs has patience -- doug does not!

I also found that if I put too much filling in my cake, I would get a bulge in the fondant.
