CAKE DECORATED IN TWO SHADES OF WHITE ICING
The illustration shows a simple pattern for decorating a loaf of cake. The cake can be made of any mixture. It is first covered with icing No. 3, page [192], which gives a clear icing and makes a good background for the white lines. If it does not run evenly dip a knife in water and smooth it. Most irregularities can be smoothed out with a clean, wet knife. The lines are made of decorating icing, which is white (No. 16, page [195]), pressed through a pastry-bag with tube of small opening. Each one of the center figures of the pattern holds a small silvered pellet of candy.
