Ice cream flavors are mixed by kneading a bit of colored Fimo into white Sculpey. for example, strawberry is made by adding rose pink to white Sculpey, pistachio by adding green to white Sculpey, and so on. For a realistic look, knead in a corresponding colored terrarium sand until a porous mixture is attained. Whichever of the "31 Varieties" is your favorite, it is easily mixed in this way.
