Hearts with Stems Pattern

Appears in

Published 2003

This design makes a more elaborate heart shape than the other heart patterns.

Cover the base of the plate with a thin layer of sauce. Pipe five 1-inch (2.5-cm) dots of the contrasting sauce, evenly spaced and centered in the area that will be left between the dessert serving and the edge of the base sauce.
Dip the tip of a small wooden skewer into one of the dots of contrasting sauce to pick up a little bit on the skewer. Place the tip of the skewer in the sauce on the plate about ½ inch (1.2 cm) away from the dot, then drag it through the dot and out the other side in a slightly curved motion, creating a heart with a stem (Figure 13-17). Repeat with the remaining dots. Place the dessert in the center of the plate.
