Method
There are several sugar paste types. They can be used for different purposes and effects.
Some type are better for covering: you will just need to drop some water on the joints, then take a hard stick, and knead the edge of the joint with it. Then, mix the paste with some water (the one that was dripped), and use this mixture like a putty, with a thick brush. If you cover the paste with paint (after drying in the fridge), then you will be the only one who will find this place.
We get many questions about the “wet” effect on some sugar paste décor elements. There are absolutely no secrets. The thing is that you have to choose the sugar paste with such features. Even when you coat it with paint, the surface remains shiny and wet.
