ICE CREAM SUNDAES
Press "ice cream flavor" into miniature sundae dish with toothpick. For whipped cream, add a bit of Polyform to top of sundae and texture with tip of X-Acto blade. Add cherry made from red Fimo. Bake sundae in oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes. When cool, gloss with Fimo lacquer.
BANANA SPLITS
Roll balls of three different ice cream flavors, sized to fit tightly into miniature banana-split dish. Glue into dish and texture with X-Acto knife. Banana is made by rolling ball of white Sculpey that has been tinted slightly with ochre Fimo, about 1/4 inch in diameter. Shape ball into banana by rolling between fingertips. Texture banana by rolling it gently over perch scraper. Bake, and when cool, cut in half with X-Acto knife. Glue to ice cream in dish. Add polyform to top for whipped cream, and glue on cherry. Bake banana split in oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes. When cool, gloss with Fimo lacquer.
ICE CREAM SODAS
Note: instructions here are for a strawberry ice cream soda. A variety of sodas and floats can be made just by changing the dye or color used in the resin.
Pour a tiny amount of resin into paper cup. Add red transparent dye and stir. Add catalyst (usual formula is 10 drops to 1 ounce of resin). Stir thoroughly. Using toothpick, drizzle one or two drops of resin mixture into tall miniature glass. Press tiny bit of white Sculpey into glass with toothpick. Resin should swirl up sides of glass. Add more white Sculpey to glass, allowing it to extend above rim. Texture top with X-Acto knife and insert straw. Bake soda in oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes.
