Help..air bubble!!

Hi..I’m in the throws of doing a 2 tier wedding cake with lace appliqué and there is a huge air bubble forming under one of the appliqués. I’ve put a sterilised pin in to pierce it..terrified it will come back. I’ve also noticed the sugarpaste is slightly cracked where it bubbled as it had dried. Any advice welcome. Just wanted it to go nice and smooth for me!!

Hi gucci906

I hope the bubble hasn’t come back, what a nightmare! I usually rub a little shortening on my fingers and massage the spot gently. The warmth from your fingers should help smooth the cracks. Hope all is well.
