Make sure your icing dam is a very stiff icing and that your filling is lower than the top edge of your icing dam. Otherwise very pretty..

It's very polished!! I didn't notice the layers bulging, but Toba Garrett suggests making a "spackling paste" from cake crumbs and buttercream to patch up any uneven spots. It looks fab nonetheless!!!

I find if you do a thick coat for your crumbcoat, it holds in the filling layers much better and the bulging doesn't happen. Also, your fondant can be about 1/4" to 1/3" thick. Sounds thick, but remember that people only get about 1 Tablespoon of it on their portion, so that's not too overwhelming!

Well....the bottom two are fake. Now you know my secret. My sister wanted a big cake, but did not want to serve the fondant one. So we did this and a bunch of sheet cakes.

I have had problems with the bulging thing too and read somewhere that if you assemble your cakes with the filling or icing in the center and then put back into fridge for a few hours that will not happen. Apparantly cakes are no match for gravity and the top tier will start to conform down to rest on the bottom tier pushing the air out between the two. I started doing this and have had a lot less problems with bulging. But your cake is beautiful.
