Covering Cake With Fondant (Poll)

You need to use a really stiff dam of BC and/or a thin layer of filling to prevent bulging.
I always fondant a well chilled cake. It's just me, and everyone does things differently.
I fill my cakes and place a piece of wax paper on top and place an object depending on the size of the cake if the cake is ten inches or larger I use a dinner plate. I let it sit for about one hour in the fridge. This helps the cake settle. I then smooth any frosting that has bulged out the side and frost my cake. Once the cake has been frosted I chill for about fifteen minutes while I am rolling out the fondant and then cover the cake. I find that it's easier to cover with fondant if the butter cream is on the firm side. Hope this helps.
