the peak areas of the bacon pieces. In some of the lower
areas or valleys of the bacon, use a bulb applicator to
apply a few tiny bubbles resembling foam that is nor-

the foam with water and clear dish detergent.


Place a couple of larger bubbles made with the hero
coff ee mixture and clear dish detergent at the edge of
coff ee liquid in the cup. With either the syringe loaded
with some clear corn syrup or an artist’s brush, touch the
eggs lightly in several places to give them a perkier look.
If the eggs no longer look perky, chances are you may
need to rebuild the eggs. Th e idea is to keep them looking
fl uff y and light. Clean any smudges on the plate with the
glass cleaner, cotton swabs, or paper towels.
