This procedure uses Heart Praline Mould I-1526, as well as 3 colored cocoa butters. We used Alabaster White (CF-3260), Rose (CF-3295) and Red Ruby (CF-3296), but the techniques described below can be used with nearly any harmonious color combination.

• Step 3: Using scotch tape, cover half of cavity
  
• Step 4: Airbrush mould with solid color
  
• Step 5: Remove tape and remove excess colored cocoa butter
  
• Step 6: Spray entire cavity with white colored cocoa butter
