Why is my sherbet-soaked oyster dessert not absorbing the syrup?

What is Sherbet-soaked oyster dessert?
Sherbet-soaked oyster dessert is a traditional Turkish pastry sweet, shaped to resemble an oyster shell and soaked in syrup after baking. The outside takes on a golden colour while the pastry absorbs the syrup and softens. In Turkey, it is usually served after a meal or brought out for guests, and it also goes well with tea. Its shell-like shape makes it easy to serve as an individual piece.
The syrup gives it a distinctly sweet taste and makes it relatively high in carbohydrates and energy, with little fibre. A smaller piece alongside unsweetened tea is a good choice if you want to enjoy it without making the dessert course too heavy.
