Bulges in sugarpaste when jam used with buttercream filling

I don’t routinely use jam in my filling but have had a couple of requests for it recently. Whenever I do use jam I seem to end up bulges in the sugarpaste the following day although it is smooth when I finished applying it.
Help! Thanks in advance

Hi cahoots

Perhaps you’re using a little too much jam and it leaks out of the layers. Try piping a butter cream dam around each layer, let it crust over or chill it and then fill the middle. The dam helps contain the filling and stops any leaks.
