- If you are filling holes:
- The sugarpaste on the cake should be dry (firm). If you start filling the holes when the cake is still soft, you might make dents.
- Use the same paste that you used to ice the cake (same colour).
- Put the softened paste in a piping bag. Close it and cut off the tip (since the pin holes are tiny, make a very small hole in the bag).
- Squeeze a tiny amount into the holes.
- Use your (clean, dry) finger to gently remove the excess paste and to level/smooth the surface. Don't press too hard.
- If you need to put the piping bag away for some time, put it in an airtight container or a bag.
