VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS.
"a little practice will enable one to dip
and drop these neatly, leaving the little
twist or curl on top, the same as those
purchased from firsJ-class confectioners.
IF q dark, glossy covering is desired
simply melt the rough chocolate such as
bakers use. add to it sufficient sugar to
sweeten and flavor with vanilla extract
This chocolate eau, in large cities, be OBJ
tanned from candy makers for twenty
i've cents per pound.
IA few valuable suggestions as to col
orlnGS ana haVorings are worthy of being
copied in the cRndy-nlaker's notebook:
"For pink, use a few drops of prepared
cochineu.
For yellow. use the grated yellow rind
OF a deep colored orange; 1t must then be
worked to q pulp. Saffron is sometimes
used, but is rather objectionable on az
count of its flavor.
For amber or light brown, use q few
drops of caramel.
"For green, use a sufficient quantity of
spinach juice to give the desired color.
For carmine. use prepared cochineal.
LAS fondant is so easily liquified, all
favoring5 must be as oncentrated as
possible. For vanilla use the bean, the
powdered vanilla or vanilla sugar. For

Where chocolate %f1avoring Is used, a little
vanilla should always be added. Where
almond paste is used, a few drops of the
extract of bitter almond should be added.
This simply intensifies the flavoriug.
Noyau may also be used with almond or
the proper accompaniment to orange, but
the juice of the orange may also be used
in its place"
