Two-Tone String of Hearts Pattern

Appears in

Published 2003

This is another variation on the string of hearts pattern. You can use just two sauces or use a third type (and color) for the center dots (hearts).

Cover the base of a plate with a thin layer of sauce. Pipe dots of the contrasting sauce fairly close together around the perimeter of the sauce, making them about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Pipe smaller dots of the first sauce in the center of each 1-inch (2.5-cm) dot.
Drag a small wooden skewer in a curved side-to-side pattern through the center of the small dots, moving all the way around the plate in one continuous line (Figure 13-16). Place the dessert in the center of the plate.
