  Galactic center (GC) is expected to be the brightest source of possible dark
matter (DM) annihilation signal. Excess gamma-ray emission has been detected by
several groups. Both DM and more conventional astrophysical explanations of the
excess have been proposed. In this report, we discuss possible effects of
modeling the Fermi bubbles at low latitudes on the GC excess. We consider a
template of the Fermi bubbles at low latitudes derived by assuming that the
spectrum between 1 GeV and 10 GeV at low latitudes is the same as at high
latitudes. We argue that the presence of the Fermi bubbles near the GC may have
a significant influence on the spectrum of the GC excess, especially at
energies above 10 GeV.
