Anybody know why this is happening? I'm going crazy and these cakes are for a competition I'm entering as a beginner. I'm about 2 minutes from scraping it all and telling them to just keep my entrant fee, grrrrrrr!

I've poked the holes with toothpicks and tried to coax the air out but they just keep coming back. I covered my dummies with press and seal really well and it's just all going to "you know where" in a handbasket! If anyone has any tips, hints, tricks, or advice I'm open to any and all ideas! Thank you

Are they big blowout bubbles from underneath the icing, or is your icing just airy to begin with?

Blowout type bubbles. I scraped the icing off, I'm redoing it now. Hopefully it doesn't happen again, otherwise I just simply don't have enough time to finish it. Thanks for replying

Sounds like it might not be sticking well to the press and seal. If you aren't having much luck after round 2, you might want to try it without the wrap and apply the icing directly to the dummy.

I did just that actually and it worked out this time. Thank you for your advice CWR41 ^_^
