I'm at work, and my brain is slow ---

this would probably best be done using BLOBS, since that would give you
excellent bounding plus some of that "blooping" effect with spheres that were
semi-detached from the main mass.

Alternatively, you might consider using a cone or capped cylinder isosurface for
the bubbles and perturb the surface with a fractal noise function.
