Sugar, Small Ornaments Of

Soak a little gum tragacanth in water. Make it into a paste by mixing double refined powdered sugar upon it. Colour this with cochineal, spinach-juice, yolk of egg, chocolate, or indigo, etc., to give it the desired tinge, and mould it to any shape. Pretty ornaments may be thus made for cakes and sweet dishes.
