Do you remember these? A slice of delicious, gooey buttercream cake served at your best friend’s birthday party when you were a kid? Or the humble, pound cake that brings back memories of your grand mama’s baking skills and the aroma of your childhood? Or the rich, decadent brownie topped with chocolate ganache and served with a dollop of vanilla ice-cream you shared with your love on your first date picked from the Bakery?

Let’s face it. No one likes bulges, whether it’s on us or our cakes. Just as a muffin top spoils your svelte look in an evening gown, a bump looks awkward and clumsy on a cake.

With that said we’ve got to admit, that bulges are pretty common for any baker, especially those who are just getting started. Sometimes the fillings aren’t as stable as you expect them to be and seep out onto the crumb coat, or the tiers settle dangerously or you may have overloaded the filling.

Whatever be the reason, bulges never look good on any cake, especially hand sculpted ones.
