pale pink with rose, yellow with orange, white with almond. Little
domino cakes are also pretty. Ice the cakes on top and sides with white
icing, then when hard put on a second layer of chocolate, using _Walter
Baker & Co.'s Unsweetened Chocolate_ and made as for layer cake, dipping
the brush in the melted chocolate to make the spots.

Candied violets, bits of citron cut in fancy shapes, candied cherries
and angelica may all be utilized in making pretty designs in
decoration.--_American Housekeeper._
