This design is quick to make and especially useful when there is little space on the plate.
Place a slice of cake in the center of the dessert plate. Using a piping bottle, pipe a small oval pool of sauce at the tip of the slice, letting the sauce flow out on both sides of the slice.
Pipe 2 lines of the contrasting sauce close together at the edge of the pool.
Drag a small wooden skewer through the lines, making connected circles, as for the Corkscrew Pattern (Figure 13-13).
