SHELL VARIATION BORDER : Page 134
The shell border was made with a No. 199 tube. Thisborder is fairly large or heavy and should be used around the base of your decorated cakes. The fluted edge on the bottom portion of the border is done witha No. 104 tube stripped with a delicate color on the narrow side. The heavy end of the tube touches the border. The small end stands out slightly. With a con-
tinuous pressure move the tube along the shell using a slight back and forth motion in your movement. Thisgives the ruffled affect. The upper portion of the shellis finished off with a No. 3 tube. Make a series of backand forth motions following the curve of the shell tocomplete the edging of the border.
