DROPPED CRESCENT-SIDE BORDER : Page 122
First, drop a guide line around the cake approxi-mately 21/2. inches in width and 11/2 inches down as shown in step 1. Go over this line with a No. 16 Startube. Note the start of this border is small. As it moves down it becomes wider, as it comes back up, it dimin-ishes again. This is accomplished by easing off and
applying pressure. Next, a single drop line is placedunder each crescent. Then three smaller drop lines areworked above this line. Make a small drop line and atiny bell-like circle where the crescents meet. All dropline work is completed with a No. 3 tube.
