Typically when you cover a cake with fondant, you want to have had the cake crumb iced and settled for several hours and most of the time, I let it sit overnight in the refrigerator. If the cake hasn't settled when you cover it, there will be air releasing from the cake as it settles, causing the bubbles.


: I frost my cakes in buttercream and cover with fondant and after they sit for a while large bubbles start to form under the fondant. What could cause this? Is it my buttercream should I try another recipe? I use a crusting buttercream. I poke the bubbles with a small pin and smooth and everything looks good for awhile and then they start to come back. I have a guitar cake this weekend and don't want to have the same problem.
